Apple Kbase Email List got hacked?

By Ashish Mohta

Not sure what’s going on but many people who had subscribed to apple updates ( like me ) had been receiving email in junks. A hundred of email what I got today itself with the subject as “Confirm” and “Continue Kbase changes”. Later on reading more I had the full conversation going on and people are talking about the same thing. Here are some snap shots

Gentlemen: I got a notice regarding the weekly Kbase changes. I assume that I am being sent this email to see if I wish to continue. The answer is yes I enjoy the articles very much. If this is not the reason I got this email then ignore this post and I will try to find out what this is all about.
Regards,
Jim Otto

That’s the first email with a snapshot to confirm.

  • Beats me, apple mail list got hacked I guess
    Cheers,
    Kerry.
  • Hmm. I think that I didn’t realize this was a public list, that anyone
    could post to, and a couple of folks were trying to confirm
    subscriptions, perhaps. My bad? I guess so. Didn’t mean to set off a
    storm, haha.Carry on.
