A couple of weeks ago, I was having problems with my mail, so I
applied for a hotmail account. Almost immediately I began getting
email porn spam (at seastorm.com) from hotmail accounts. This went
on for a couple of weeks, then stopped.
I'm not real bright about cookies... and I think (though I can't
recall for certain) I HAD to accept cookies in order to sign up for a
hotmail account. I've been wondering... was this a coincidence? Or
did I get spammed for using hotmail? And is this common practice?
