It's worth noting that you've exposed your e-mail address in this very thread via the screen shot.  If I wanted, I could now e-mail you and say, truthfully, that I got your e-mail from chess.com.

If this kind of thing concerns you, and it seems that it does, you should probably exercise some more caution.

It shows as viewed everytime you view it. If its un-published only you can view it

I didn't expose my email and if you can find it in this thread please send me one to prove it

Sorry, my mistake -- that's the sender's e-mail not yours, correct?  Despite hailing from Canada my French is abhorrent.

I seriously doubt chess.com has been hacked.  Some program searched profiles on here and you were lucky one chosen.  Remember!  now send your banking information, phone number, SSN, drivers license number, and a photo.  I have personally experienced these before and the women have always been incredibly hot.  And i have also been assured that my $50,000,000 that a relative i didn't even know i had in Zimbabwe is on its way!

When the money arrives we are havng a HUGE chess.comn party!!!

CPawn I ONLY WANT TO KNOW HOW THEY  GOT MY EMAIL AS IT IS NOT ON MY PROFILE!!!

I might be stupid but not so stupid as you seems to think, been on the net for more than 10years I know most of the traps. Sealed

It's just a scam.  You sould ignore those e-mails.  Only open e-mails from trusted people or people that you know.

BigHickory is right.  Just don't open them.

It has nothing to do about open emails or not ,the question is how "she" got my email address through chess.com?  Sealed

Karl if you think it that easy to find my email address then send me one to prove it.

As the titel of the forum is" has chess.com been hacked " it is a question, sorry that I forgot the question mark.It is not a conclusion as you mention Karl, as for the conclusion chess.com is working on it.

My email  address used ,  never had  spam before and I have been using this address for 6years(getting lots on my g.mail and hotmail).As for my thinking ,I never thought it was easy to hack Twitter but somebody did so why not chess.com?

The letter itself doesn't bother me,what's bothers me is if somebody got chess.com's mailing list.

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?

My advice:

These spam emails may be trying to spread viruses, trojans, or other nasties.  Delete them without opening them.  Nothing good ever comes from them, but if you are the kind of person who opens them anyway, just in case, have I got a deal for you . . . .


 Just only except messages from friends. It's the safe way........
