I thought I was just getting old, and the spammers had cottoned onto the fact. (I turned 40 a couple of months ago).

But no, apparently Aweber was hacked, and email addresses were stolen.

Fortunately, I use a unique email for each list I’m on, so it’s easy to identify the list I should be on, re-subscribe using the new address, and consign the old address to the deletion queue.

But for a while there, I was being buried by an absolute avalanche of mail every time I checked my email on my mobile phone. It only summarises up to 99 mails unread, and every time I looked at it, I saw “99+”. I then logged in, deleted them all, and 30 minutes later there was another “99+” visible.

You can imagine my delight at this…
