Just got another spam mail for a Kickstarter project. This time from justbacker.com located in "335 Lowell Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301" according to the mail. So another mail to my old Kickstarter email address which was part of the Kickstarter Hack/Leak in 2014. And from my experience with Kickstarter they seem to tolerate this and does nothing against. None of my reports had any verifiable effect and I never got any reponse, not even something like "stop sending us is this shit".
The spamvertised product is Tech Belt by Filippo Moratoo and is a Kickstarter Team Favorite. 
The mail was received from 213.109.77.33 / mx319.spsndr.com. Never heard of spendr.com before, The description on their homepage says The only cannabis payments & rewards app. WTF? Why sends a cannabis payment company spam for kickstarer project and what the hell are cannabis payments? Oh, the hoster are my old friends from contabo. The referer redirection is also using spendr.com and is hosted at hetzner.de, but for unknown reasons Spamcop wants to send a report to Amazon AWS.

In my robots.txt I have an fake entry disallowing access to a special path which is not linked anywhere. No bot should ever visit this entry, but a few months ago a bot accessed this URL. The bot has the UA "cyberscan.io" and according to Google it is "Your next generation Cybersecurity Tool!". Whatever, the UA may be faked, but this another entry for the block list..

More Spam from "Reward Update" which most likely got the e-mail address from the Kickstarter hack (leak?) in 2014. How did they get their clients? Most likely through spam.

A "newsletter" for another crowdfunded product was sent to the mail address stolen from Kickstarter in 2014... This time it's "ForeverPen™ - Writing Without Limits", Seems to be an "inkless" pen that can write forever. Seems they ordered promotion services from "Reward Update":

Reward Update
899 E 8th St, Brooklyn,
NY 11230, USA

Reward Update is not associated or affiliated in any way, shape, or form with either Indiegogo, Inc, Indiegogo(dot)com, kickstarter(dot)com, Kickstarter PBC or Kickstarter, Inc.

For weeks now I get spam for a "smart" umbrella called "Kisha". I never signed up for their "newsletter" and it's using the mail address which was leaked in the 2014 Kickstarter hack or leak. I report the mails ASAP to Amazon (Origin of the mails) and Cloudflare (Hoster of the spamvertised site) but neither of them seem to care about about spam. Anyway, let the world know that the guys behind Kisha are just spammers and never buy stuff from spammers. 

Some of their Newsletters:

Your domain evilazrael.net registration is pending. Failure to complete this order by may result in the cancellation of this notification (making it difficult for your customers to locate you, using search websites on the web).

I wish simply ignoring these "orders" will result in cancelling these "notifications".
 
One of the best argument of these domain privacy services: less spam.
