Comcast Hacked Again?

So I still have an email address that I have never released or used, ever. It is an address@comcast.net and was given upon sign up for the cable Internet service. I initially setup my email reader with the account so it still fetches it but I forget about it because nothing is there.

I received more spam to the address today with this header:

It is interesting that comcast either sells, allows access to or has had their databases broken into. No online storage of data is safe!
