I also received this email, but to a different batch of email addresses. I deleted it as I often get random emails. It was from the same address. Also, that isn't Merrell's email as far as I can tell.
I am not registered at any other sites than a small group of StarCraft forums (here Modcrafters, Corbobo, etc.) with this email. >.>

It's sending them in batches of e-mail addresses which seem to be organized alphabetically - it obviously isn't Merrell's personal e-mail, but we're proposing that perhaps his MSN contact list was hijacked when he had the messenger virus.
That it got me, too means it had to be an older member. I don't think I've added more than two people since the beginning of the year - so its probably merrell.
I don't know why we're still discussing this. Its not invasive.
I think it may be Merrell. I haven't received any emails that I know of, but I got an automated spam IM from his email address when I logged into MSN just now.
What? My password is ultra-secure.. I guess I should change it again.
None.
Anyone get it from a non msn-linked account?
Because I think Devlin is right and SEN's email database is secure (enough). I don't even know how a bot would get at it. There is msn/email accounts in profiles, but I doubt someone is going to register at sen and to steal data, we aren't that big ;o
None.
Doesn't matter if your password is ultra secure, if you haven't managed to get rid of the spyware

Are you merri1225@hotmail.com? I don't recognize that email (I have a different one for you. ;o)

No, that's not me. I hope CaptainWill isn't mistaking someone else for me either.
None.
The spam I got over IM was definitely from your account. I don't know how these scams work (spoofing of some kind maybe?) but when I logged into MSN there was a message waiting for me from someone called Merrell in my contacts list. I doubt there are any other Merrells.
None.
Same here, no spam for da paynis D:

I know you showed me the log, but are you sure the email was the same? Some of them could easily mimic my alias.
If so: I scanned my entire computer with the most recent version of Trend Micro's Housecall and nothing was found.
None.
You use an anti-spyware? I just check Task Manager's Processes tab; if I see any programs that neither I nor Google recognize, I seek them out and delete them immediately. Generally, only hardcore viruses try to hide from good ol' TaskMan.
None.
There's a virus (call it whatever) that takes your msn password / uses your msn program to mass spam your contact list with crap.
It's not a spoof, because they wouldn't have your buddy list. Whoever is the one sending the messages, they are at fault.
I don't see how it would be so hard to make the same thing but harvest your msn emails. Which I believe to be the case here.
None.
Is there any non-SEN emails? I'm pretty sure everyone has SOME contacts not related to SEN ...

My MSN email has over 3k emails in the inbox, not including junk.
Like hell I'm checking it.
None.
