I received the same spam. What I found ironic was that I just purchased
a copy of the magazine for the first time this past weekend at Barnes &
Noble. Haven't had a chance to read it yet, though.

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

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?
