   This is an interesting phish that I got that tries to capitalize on security alerts. It's still not good enough to get me, especially because Gmail's spam catcher already filtered it. But also, it was sent to an email address I've only used for Adobe Cloud, so there's either been some breach there or I signed a form or something similar and Adobe released shared my registered email address with them.

     @kingrat I use a different email address for everything I sign up for, so I can tell who sells my address. The most interesting one was when I signed up for a Ted Cruz raffle to win a shotgun and that email was later sold to the Democratic party.

     @tito_swineflu I wouldn't be surprised if consultants behind the campaign were responsible for that. A lot of them will go work for anyone and bring along everything they've built up like mailing lists.
