    So a spammer steals my email address then the first mail he sends is to advise that my email address could have been stolen?
    Along with some advise for the user to change their password, and a nice phishy link for them to do so. Plausible attack.

    Spam has been low lately since a big botnet was taken down

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12859591
    ...which sent up to 30 billion spam messages per day...


    So, it might just be a natural increase as the spammers move their operations elsewhere...
