Alright,
I've changed my main e-mail address 4 times over 8 years.
In the first year, everything will be happy with my email, no spam or anything.
At the end of the second year, tons of spam. Emails, waitICantPostThisWordHereButIAmSureYouCanGuessWhatIAmTalkingAboutThinkHard bots, whatever it may be somehow got my email address.
I make a new one, ditto.
I am very confident in what has my email and it's highly unlikely my email address was used to solicit. I rarely get viruses/spyware/bad things unless I modify them myself, so I'm confident it cant be that.
Literally exactly at the 2 year mark, from join initiation to 2 years, I'll start getting spammed like crazy. I'm talking, 1k emails a day, millions of those "[email protected] wants to add you" bots.
My main service provider is Hotmail/Microsoft.
Why does this happen every 2 years?
I just randomly thought of this as I was sitting here, not studying for my exams, like a loser.
Thank you.
