Subject: [SECURITY] Coincidence or bold spammer?

This morning, I received spam inviting me to contribute a technical
article
for an alleged 'security' magazine named 'hakin9'. Ordinarily, I would
have
Just Hit Delete, but the following paragraph caught my attention.

As you are interested and knowledgeable in IT security matters and you
are a 
famous persona in IT security community we would be 
honoured if you wish to cooperate with us and to write some technical,
IT 
security related  articles for our magazine. 

Did anyone else on this list, particularly anyone who has recently
posted to
this list, receive the same spam?
