Guys,

I am browsing a website & next day I get spam from them in my mailbox....
Is this coincidence?

Or in general

What is the maximum harm in terms of privacy that a malicious web site can
cause to a casual surfer?

Any links/pointers/articles/stories appreciated.

Thanks in advnce

Did you submit a form or give them your email address?  If not, the
question is what are you running and how is your browser configured?  If
you didn't submit or somehow give them your email address, then unless
it's coincidence, you better check your settings.
