Hi. A few months ago I was spammed at a hotmail account by someone using backscatter to spoof my email address and also forge it to send spam to others.
Now at my non-hotmail account I received an email from someone which although looks like Spam features my real name in the Subject: header and in the To: header. I don't believe I've ever given out my real name to strangers publically on the net, so is this something more sinister (i.e. compromised account)?
