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.

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