I think, at this point, we should just assume that our emails are out there. Can't put the candy back in the piñata.
My main email addy is an OG mac.com address. I registered it about five minutes after Steve announced it. My wife got her first name, but I suspect that Chris Espinosa already had chris@mac.com.
In any case, it was compromised back when Network Solutions sold their database to spammers (or some other scumbags sold their database), and it's been feral, ever since. Basically, most of this century.
I've survived it. I maintain Inbox Zero, frequently.
One of the saving graces, is that mac.com has "aged out," so most of the spammers switched over to icloud.com, and that means I can just set up a rule to bin anything that comes into icloud.com.
