I've just received a spam email directed to my GNUz-specific email
address. The most probable cause for this is a security breach on a PC
belonging to a GNUz subscriber.

If you operate a PC with Microsoft software, please check for spyware or
other malware that may be responsible for leaking information out to the
world. If you are using Microsoft application software for accessing the
Internet (Outlook Express and Internet Explorer being the most likely
suspects) please consider using an alternative in future.
