[time-nuts] 2

[J. Forster]

I own/moderate a number of Groups with >10,000 members total and I see
about one of these a day.

In most cases, the hijacker gets the victim's email address via a social
media site. Apparently what happens is that when people sign up, the site
grabs your address book unliss you are savvy enough to explicitly opt-out.

When this happens, you can essentially kiss that email address goodbye.
