En los últimos meses se están registrando casos de gente reportando problemas en sus cuentas de correo asociadas a Skrill (antigua Moneybookers) por envío masivo de spam. Spam relacionado con casinos online y con una frecuencia de más de 1 correo al día. Muchos de los correos se caracterizan por llevar el texto del asunto/subject entre dos estrellas de cinco puntas.

Algunas conclusiones de lo leído por diversos foros.

I get a ton of spam e-mail everyday with my usename claiming I have won 1000$ and other stuff. I created this new mail ID and use it only 4 moneybookers. So I'm sure MB triggered this scam.

Also, during registration I misspelled my last name, and never bothered to contact them about it, at least not yet. That's important for the rest of this post.

I was able to save from spam this e-mail address for years. Big mistake to give this e-mail address to moneybookers, which looked like a serious organization as it handles money.

El origen de la filtración de datos personales es Skrill porque hay casos de usuarios con cuentas de correo dedicadas en exclusiva a este servicio y que comenzaron a recibir spam al poco de registrarse en Skrill. El spam consiste en el envío de mensajes personalizados a un nivel de detalle bastante grande (nombre+apellido). Se da la curiosa circunstancia de que un usuario que introdujo su apellido con errores tipográficos al registrarse en Moneybookers, recibe el spam personalizado con exactamente los mismos errores tipográficos.

Todo esto coincide con la adición de dos cláusulas un tanto sui géneris a la política de privacidad que al parecer permitirían la cesión de datos privados a terceros con bastante manga ancha. Y que de ser cierto lo que dice un tal Jonas Clemen Larsen se abrían aplicado con efecto retroactivo a antiguos usuarios de Moneybookers violando las reglas de certificación TRUSTe.

¿Hay algún forero con cuenta en Moneybookers con este mismo problema?
