As above.

In the last few days, in my case.

Very few places except here have my name, S2KI handle and email address

I had a lot of this last year, but naturally the mods claim the site has not been hacked and data is secure.

Didn't know that, grits. I have notified AE, m1bjr.

A msg that gets past Yahoo's spam filter at my private email address,
with my name and S2KI handle in the header of the message,
is a data set only known to s2ki.com (from 'MyS2K').

I recently signed up for Arran Meet 7. Possibly Roadie has this data on his server?
Not accusing anybody. Just in my experience spam often tends to reflect places you've recently been.

Mightn't be the same issue. He was receiving abusive messages, I believe.

Can't find the thread now.

I'm looking into it. It is probably totally unrealted to s2ki and may be tracking cookies on your PC. Have you virus scanned and removed tracking cookies Rog?
