Tell HN: I've started to get email spam to my Comcast-only email address
I have a unique email inbox that I have only given out to Comcast. A few days ago, I started getting occasional spam (phishing) emails to it.
Either Comcast has gotten breached or they sold my data.
I don't think that this should come as a surprise to anyone here, but in case you needed confirmation, here it is.
Edit: the address is a Fastmail masked email address of the form [email protected]. One email claimed to be from a Gmail address, and it appeared to have DMARC/SPF headers, but I'm not experienced enough to know if they're valid. I'll try to provide the headers soon.
