How do spammers get a hold of my address? ?

Question

I have been getting in my spam box "CNN Alerts" and others of the like. I delete them, but it's annoying. I don't use this email acct. for shopping or even give it out much. How can I prevent it, stop it?

Answer 1

spamers are smart.  This is how they make a living.  This is how it normally works.  You give out a email to a Friend how sends out mass email to all the guys and you.  Now one of the computers your email address was sent to is infected with a data miner program and a few days later you are a spam target.
