Why must there be?

Maybe it's just near one of the far edges of the normal distribution of
phishing Email your address sees?

Personally, I've seen about what I consider the usual amount of
phishing over the last few weeks. A couple of months back I hardly got
a single phish in about 3-4 days and started to wonder what was going
on, but most of my professional acquaintances assured me their
organizations' mail servers were seeing the usual phlow of phish...
