It was a bit of Spam that didn't look like the usual 'Consilidate your Penis - Enlarge your debts' mails I usually get.

The worlds largest podshow network was sending out this mail by the dozen all day 'podshow.com got HACKED by yeknom!'

Well it would seem it was wasn't it. Yeknom has bust podshow open that must comprise of about 10 million subscribers at least.

I thought nothing of it - after all what is another piece of SPAM in ones inbox.

It was confirmed later with this mail from Podshow.

'Dear PodShow Friends,

At approximately 10am PST today, an attempt was made to compromise our network. Our systems recognized the attempt and immediately reacted by shutting down certain functions.

During this attempt, spam emails were sent to certain users on our network.

If you received unsolicited emails from a PodShow.com address, we sincerely apologize. We take this type of interruption very seriously and are constantly upgrading our systems and processes to prevent interruptions and abuse.

The entire PodShow team appreciates your support and we work diligently to bring you the best in new media and new music. Should any additional issues arise, we will keep you informed.
