In the last three days I’ve begun getting spam to addresses I’ve only ever used with Jodohost. These are not addresses on public web pages, but ones that I’ve only ever used for my Jodohost contact information, either when ordering domains or for my hostspace.
I use unique addresses every time I place an order with any company (such as [email protected]), and never use them again, so I know they’ve come from Jodohost information that should never have been public at any time.
I assume whoever has access to the email addresses in my accounts also has access to all the other personal information Jodohost hold.
The only other company that holds your personal details are our payment processors and both are reliable companies so I doubt there can be any leak there
I have no explanation for why you could be receiving spam but email address harvesting software is getting more and more sophisticated. I heard a new software queries mail servers to find existing email addresses or something similar
I just wanted to restate here, that we never give out your private information, thank you for finding the source of it and resolving that. And for any one else’s future reference, just remember the address you use when you purchase a domain is the one that will be listed, WHOIS harvesters are very well known these days, and also very annoying (I get those email too)
