Why Am I Getting SPAM To My Abobe Account Unique EMail Address?

My e-mail on my Adobe account is unique to my account.

 

Yet I've now started getting useless SPAM sent to that email. Some has "unsubscribe" links but my security blocks them and they are only to that particular SPAM source so I'll still get the SPAM from elsewhere.

 

eg today got one from "Real Thread" T-shirt printing. Of absolutely no interest to me, complaete SPAM.

 

All the account privacy settings are set to private/secret/tell nobody nothing ever. No social medias linked (I don't even have social media accounts).. They certainly didn't get the information from my laptop as the email I got includes other details from my Adobe account eg they have my first name!

 

So have Adobe leaked my e-mail? Adobe servers hacked?

 

I'm at the point of having to delet the account (as changing the e-mail will be a waste of time if it's being handed out/sold to these 3rd parties, the new mail will just get handed-out/sold/hacked again!

 

I recently posted about LrC new version scanning and attemoting to access web sites from my saved e-mail messages so I'm now getting really concerned about Adobe security. Really wondering what is going on.

 

Anybody any ideas how IU can stop this and keep my Adobe Account details private?

Why does any email address receive SPAM?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

TRUE STORY:  I created a dummy email address on my server as a test account.  Despite never using the address in the wild, nobody anywhere had it, guess what happened?  Within a few hours, the address received robot driven spam.  Funny how that works, huh.

Still getting this SPAM from team@realthread.com on my unique adobe account e-mail (nobody has it except Adobe and it's not one people would guess from random phishing.

 

How do I stop this blasted company. Clearly disreputable as they are SPAMing me but also how come they've got my unique Adobe account e-mail? Makes you wonder about Adobe security ...

So how come they have (and are regularly using) my unique adobe account e-mail? E-mail address I've created and only Adobe have it? I certainly haven't leaked it and no way they've guessed it.

Double checked and all options already disabled (for years) - so e-mail address should not have been passed to others.
