I got a spam email from a google group without having subscribed to this group before from 3 hours ago, long before this news item made it to the HN front page (e.g. it's unlikely that somebody else made a typo that resulted in my email address).
In the unlikely case that there are any humans in the loop: please stop doing this sort of 'marketing'.
Paged Out!'s project lead here. This is really weird... could you tell me which group did you get the email from? If you email me (gynvael@pagedout.institute) your email I can both remove it and try to figure out how your email got there.
This is weird. I personally know humans in the loop (not affiliated in any way, but itsec is a small community) and they would never do such thing (especially the lead editor).
If you're sure you never subscribed, consider contacting them to let them know about this.
