The amount of SPAM mail I receive just increased quite a bit, and I'm wondering if it's something I did or just SPAMmer getting busy. Mainly, I just started getting a whole bunch of SPAM that's all in German. Very odd, but the worst part is that since it's not in english, my SPAM filters don't always recognize it as junk, so some of it makes it into my Inbox. Jerks. Is anyone else getting this stuff, or am I special?
Update: I think someone who works at SCAD stole their database and sold it to some German company, because all the German spam is being sent to student.scad.edu addresses, and they're also sending out mail using my old scad address as the reply-to. I have my scad email configured to forward to my personal email address, so that must be the culprit. Proof that our data is safe nowhere.

No German spam here, but I am sick of getting the Viagra emails... and yes, I've seen an increase!
Yeah, I'm constantly amazed when I hear that the reason we get so much spam mail is because it's marketing that works. Really, who buys stuff based on spam? Scary.
