I do not respond in the name of C&C: Online, since I am officially no part of it. But as far as we have investigated this matter here in Revora, some people did get this email, and other users of C&C: Online didn't. I did not receive such an email, neither did ToxicShock. And, regarding some of the people who received, they had their email accounts leaked by other websites, according to "have I been pwned" services. If you have a real proof that the culprit is really C&C: Online, then you should show their staff (not me) so they can try to figure it out.
So far, nobody has found any problems. If they become aware of it, it is in their best interest to find out and solve the problem. C&C: Online does not sell your private data to any third party.
Also, I have seen email accounts/forwarders being found out by spammers regardless of the website that you use these accounts. Sometimes, your own email service may sell that information or leak them. It is also possible that it can be leaked if any of your machines get pwned.

I use a specific email (and ofcourse password) for each service, that I never user for any other service (this is quite the hassle signing up for services, but it allows me to pin-point any leaks immidiately).

I am unable to get in contact with them trough email (abuse@, info@), Can you tell me how to contact them perhaps?

I have my own hosting / domain / email service. other addresses have not leaked. Would also be too coincidental that several friends i played CNC with got the same email on the same day, while they all use different email services.
