Is anyone else getting these spam emails?

I have been getting a lot of these spam messages lately. I edited out the list of recipients and spaced out the links so no one should accidentally click on them, but they are being sent to a lot of .edu, .us, .gov and a few jamfsoftware.com accounts. I've been ignoring it but I wanted to point this out to anyone just in case.

Looks like we're on the same list. I received this just after 2:00 pm EDT this afternoon. I am guessing it is fallout from their email breach from a few weeks ago. Luckily my spam filter caught it.

Yes. my spam load has exploded since the breach. I'm getting a LOT of emails with dodgy attachments in them as well. (Windows .exe files in a .zip file ... malware targeting FAIL)

I have just one "Ray Sola" email in my Spam box today, also around 2:06 PM. I use gmail for emails coming from JN, so they land right into Spam. I'm not sure if I've been getting other ones and they've just been auto cleaned after hitting a date threshold or not. Anyway, not too concerned about them since they never get to my Inbox.
With all the good spam filters out there I have to wonder why these people even bother with these tactics anymore. Less and less eyeballs are seeing these than ever before.
