This is annoying but not a big deal or a privacy breach, DocuSign is so prevalent your email being in there means basically nothing.

- peteretep 9y agoThis incorrectly assumes it's much more valuable to only spam people with access to a service than just a list of people, and I doubt that holds in practice
- cottsak 9y agoRead the comment again. It's about phishing specifically. Not generic spam. And it absolutely holds in practise that interaction rates go up for phishing messages when the user has a legitimate account with the service being impersonated.
