Who sold my email: vkontakte or mail.ru?

Three years ago I started a mailbox on Mail.ru. My world did not create. I needed a box for a fake vkontakte account. He was my only friend. The fake girl was called Natalia Zhelanova.
For what it was necessary for me - not the point.

I nowhere and never shone him and after a while successfully forgot about him. The home server successfully collected mail for 3 years and notified me about new spam over Outlook.

I was not surprised that the letters came and came ... However, I was soon surprised that spam comes with the exact name of the recipient: Natalia Zhelanova. It was impossible to choose a password: hardly anyone will remember that random combination of numbers, signs and letters, even me. I’m not mistaken if I say that such a cacophony there were 16 characters. the answer to the secret question was a random set of characters.

But I remember exactly that, apart from these two sites, no one received that “soap” and, especially, the names and surnames. In the questionnaire on mail.ru was filled only the name.

It can be logical to assume that it was only VKontakte that could “light up” him, if, of course, the name in the recipient of letters from him was not visible, where his last name was visible.

I wonder who showed my email? I am at least indignant ...

UDP: mailbox name is not informative: riki****nuti88@inbox.ru.
Also, I exclude the efficiency of the malware: the virtual machine where the outlook is deployed is not used for anything other than viewing mail and working under compilers.
On the Linux server.
