Sounds like it was just someone spamming trying to scam some bitcoins.
checked my email registered with bitcointalk. nothing unsolicited in my inbox and nothing bitcoin related in my spam either.
Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical. Even if you add /r/bitcoin and Bitcointalk together, you're still not going to come up with 300,000 accounts.
Yeah, I haven't received a email of this kind.
I doubt there is information leaked, I think it's just a troll move.
If it isn't, many people are going to be...furious.

This is why I use fake emails, suckers.
I have not received such an email.
I do get some spam for LTC pool, hasn't noticed much else...
got the email, too
but the email wasn't sent to the email i use for bitcointalk.org, it came to an email i use for unsecure and unimportant stuff and/or likely spam.

Nah, the only active admin here is theymos, and I don't think he will leak the info here.
I have evidence that this list of addresses was scrapped from at least one DNS registrar.
I have my email in my profile and have not received such emails yet.
The guy apparently is only sending to Bitcoin Bussines emails.
The original email (fist one) was sent to the mail I use in the contact page of a Bitcoin related website.
I have my email in my profile and have not received such emails yet.
Today this email arrived in my inbox:

This might be fake, but it can be also true and some Bitcointalk admin has looked for emails in the database.
I am posting this for calling the attention of admins and do some investigation about.
