Just got malware spam to an email address alias I created specifically for an account at Motley Fool years ago.

i do unique emails for every vendor. i've also had my domain name for years and no one had it before me, so i know if someone is trying an email that's never worked.

it's amazing how many spam/malware attempts use emails that have never worked or not worked in years repeatedly. i've seen some nonexistant emails being used for over 20 years now.

the spam database quality is obviously crap and it's also obvious they just don't care.
