Dead serious question.
Is that the huge friggin' elephant in the room???

Got all excited when I saw a "cigar info" email in my inbox. But, wait a minute... apparently my email addy has now received the attention of some azzhats trying to get me to bite on some phishing opportunities. They have accurate intel on order history apparently. Nice. ..but NO cigar!

..just friggin' great. And FYI, I have never received any cigar related spam on this email account before. I use many different email accounts and this one is used for cbid primarily.


Brace yourself guys.
I take precautions/good security layers.
Worried about the rest of you.
Just a heads up.

Mr. Jones. Quit your whining. Put on your leotards and cape. Then fly to Nigeria and save Gotham City!

Even if they weren't hacked, the tin foil hat I wear says they will say they were hacked to try and save some face.

Hi there. Nope, not hacked. New computer system for every element of the business, including Marketing. They send out the emails for all of the businesses in this fulfillment center. Some of those emails went out from the wrong business unit.

Your financial and personal info is safe with us.

All this talk of hats makes me want to read 'The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins' by Dr. Seuss.

Oh and btw, nice name.....
