  I received something rather similar ~2-3 months back -- but
I don't think it was to address I use on *this* list....

Subject: [SECURITY] Coincidence or bold spammer?

This morning, I received spam inviting me to contribute a
technical article for an alleged 'security' magazine named
'hakin9'. Ordinarily, I would have Just Hit Delete, but the
following paragraph caught my attention.

As you are interested and knowledgeable in IT security
matters and you
are a famous persona in IT security community we would be
honoured if
you wish to cooperate with us and to write some technical,
IT security
related  articles for our magazine.

Did anyone else on this list, particularly anyone who has
recently posted to this list, receive the same spam?
