Beware SPAM from KG

Beware
I have just started getting SPAM emails from KG, probably not directly.
They only have a few words so I guess the spammers are just testing if the addresses are valid.
I use unique email addresses for KG so there is no doubt where they have come from.
Looks to me as though someone has hacked into the KG contact lists.
Anyone else having problems?
Not a very happy bunny at the moment as I had always trusted this site.

I had one, and back traced the ip of the sender (which was a different ip to the normal kg emails) to a spoof server in India...

Looks like an sql injection to return the email list... A fairly advanced hack... I must say I'm impressed
