I have 2 email addresses, one hotmail that gets everything sent to (and I mean everything, all the spam under the sun).
And an ntlworld one wich has only been used once to register for ebay (Not paypal, that is on my hotmail address).
I only noticed it because they emailed the wrong account though I am a little confused that they managed to miss my hotmail account.

I was going to say no but come to think of it thats where all my emails regarding post replies etc get sent to so yes it must be registered here.

I'm sure nobody assumes that our details have been shared willingly (I certainly don't), but from what I use of MySQL & Cpanel, I can't see (without guessing the Cpanel or database username and password) how they'd have got our details (which clearly they have somehow) unless there's some form of worm that affects MySQL/Apache, I know there's one that propogates via windows using system dll's but I've not seen one that'll do the business under Apache.

Re: ***Caution***: Paypal Users
 
I used to have a account here with mac (which i have since changed to gmail) anyway i set up aliases with this account for each site i joined. I got a item of spam/phising (i honestly cant remember) from the CF email....

Although i have had much worse on other forums

Although i seriously do not belive it has anything to do with anyone on the staff or hhosting :)
