It occurs to me that maybe i ought to be concerned. See, its uncanny that of all times, this past week (just when i had been discussing Linux on this BBB forum, and then this week on a Linux forum) I was emailed spam-mail from an email address which had the word "linux" in the first part of its host address. I don't remember the exact name or email anymore because i was otherwise preoccupied with many things.
I didn't even open the email (sent to my Gmail) because the message i could see in the display was so obviously "junk" rather than official. Instead, i just clicked to report it as spam, so now i have no record of it, except to remember that when hovering over its address, it was something like: xxxxxxxxATLinuxyyyyyyyy.com
Its weird because i have not been discussing Linux online for a long time. That's why its so creepy that i received such an email during the period when i began to do so.
I researched a bit before, and came up with this AI excerpt on the Brave search engine:
