No/not yet. On the balance, not that bad considering my email is basically my name and is publicly searchable.

considering where that email address is used and how old it is I am sure it is on a bunch of lists already.
hell I got a gmail account when it was invite only and for funs did nothing with it and got spam mail within a month.

Nope. Not yet.
First rule of creating a new mail alias, spam will arrive before any real messages. Been true for me at least.

Speaking of, someone on r/buildapc accused Newegg of selling pirated copies of Windows licenses this week. Total blowup.

I have not, but you can’t be too careful.
