Just a FYI for the community: it seems that Play.com registration emails have been leaked to a spammer who is now trying to spread malware by using (probably hacked) gsn.com email servers.

Play.com is a major online retailer in Europe. Hopefully it is only emails, but be sure to keep an eye on your credit card bills if you have used Play.com :)

I can confirm this myself, and here are some threads to follow:
