And as has been pointed out by several already -- there are lotsa ways for 5 people to get the same spammer's e-mail. Ways which have nothing to do with the website being hacked.
I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Certainly not off of the example of 5 people out of 1000's. Those Nigerian scam e-mails have managed to find their way into the mailboxes of millions.
I once had an e-mail account which was somehow spoofed by spammers. I knew because I started receiving rejected mail back -- mail which I had never sent out. Usually mail advertising stuff. Needless to say, I canceled that account.
