Hello all...
I am posting to ask if anyone is aware of a possible compromise to the Mint mailing list...
I hold several internet domain names and my registered account to Mint and the Mint forums is literally "mint@" and my domain. I have just received an email from "OmiseGO Gold", with the subject field of "Welcome to the OmiseGO Gold Community!"
Because I have my own domain name, I have the ability to partition unique email addresses for all the different organisations that need to have an email address. In other words, the "mint@" email address is unique to this community.
So when I receive the above email, I have to wonder how "OmiseGO" got their hands on this address. Note that this is an email forwarding address - I cannot send emails from this account because it does not have a full account profile, so there is no way that the address could have been harvested from a mail trail.
I would be grateful if anyone can comment on whether they have received any emails from this source, or whether anyone is aware of a compromise to Mint servers.
Thank you.

Personally I have not received any - but email databases are sold, i hope this is not the case -one such is https://www.emaildatapro.com/ you can get 85 million business email addresses for 350 dollars
Re: Mailing List Compromised?
Yes, most of us are aware (or so I hope). It happened in 2016 and was announced on the Mint blog.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!
Re: Mailing List Compromised?
Thank you - I hadn't seen that warning.
Time to create a new email forwarding address!
