2003 Blogrolling hack linked to 2008 419 spam

Checking my email today, I was surprised to find SPAM sent to an email address I used for Blogrolling.com. Turns out Blogrolling was hacked back in November 2003, and now this email address appears to have made it's way into the hands of 419 scammers/spammers.

How do I know it was from blogrolling.com? Well, I use Sneakemail disposable email addresses for all my web-based accounts, and this particular address is the only one that has received SPAM.

It's possible that there's been another breach at blogrolling.com, but who knows? Suffice to say, I've updated my account and changed the email address (and password while I was at it), so even if it was compromised I won't have to deal with any more SPAM.
