Comment on How are scammers getting my email address?

Someone who you’ve corresponded to over email had their address book compromised and it was used in a mass phishing email campaign. It’s not necessarily targeted at you. I actually have experience of this happening. I had an email address that I used only to correspond to a single person. I never gave the email to anyone else and never signed up for anything. Well that person’s email was compromised and I started getting spam/phishing emails shortly after that.
