maybe it's just a message from the official bitmessage channel, to which you're subscribed by default? can't check it atm, but it may be possible

I have now received it at all 8 of my addresses, only one of which I've ever given anyone. Maybe it's the NSA trying to link public keys to addresses when you open the link... Good thing I use a VPN.

A friend of mine just reported that he received the exact same message to his only address, which he had shared with no one other than me.

I opened the link in a sandbox, only to see a HTTP 500 error.

Edit: I just received the same message to my own address, which I've used only twice, from address BM-2D8yr4fzoMzwndqPwLMVyzUcdfK9LWZXjY

Bitmessage has several potential security issues including a broken proof of work function and potential private key leaks.

The link doesn't seem to be working, does anyone know anything about this?
