How did Obama get my e-mail? I've never signed up for anything
with the campaign.. Only John. And I never use that e-mail for anything other than really important items because I don't want it flooded like my other... Next thing I know I have Obama in the InHouse box asking for a donation for a yard sign. I don't get it. How did they get my e-mail?
4. they use 'Harvest' bots or buy the lists from outfits who do.
Harvest bots go through the internet just like search bots and extract any string that meets the ***@*** criteria. Also there are more than a couple of them that can penetrate blog sites and extract their registered lists, encrypted or not. Russians have an entiore industry built on this model.
