Teal Sunglasses: a new wrinkle on spam and privacy...

Over on Teal Sunglasses comes a particularly creepy story about SPAM and hotel internet connections:

A friend of Laurie's is at a conference on the east coast, staying at a hotel. he's wired up to the hotel internet connection. He just got e-mail sent to his e-mail account -- it was from an escort service, and it was to tell him that one of their escorts was working his hotel that evening.

While there can be many explanations for how the spammer got this email address it does serve as a good reminder to always use secure email no matter where you are.
