- crocowhile 16y agoAll 1.5m? I didn't receive anything.
- dwynings 16y agoNo, not all 1.5MM are publicly available.
- whakojacko 16y agoEDIT: I did in fact get the email, but gmail is classifying as spam, FYI.
- jorsh 16y agoSo why did you feel the need to embed tracking images into that email?
- jeff18 16y agoI'm not sure if you guys have dealt with ISP blacklists before, but I think there is a good chance hint.io will never be able to reliably reach an inbox again. Sending emails to white-listed addresses is hard enough to get right, let alone sending to 1.5 million arbitrary email addresses.
- jeffclark 16y agoIt takes a special kind of entrepreneur to knowingly use a list of hacked email addresses to promote their own service. "Nice Job" hint.io. It ended up in everyone's spam folders for a reason.
- dwynings 16y agoJeff, Knowing that we've saved tons of people's accounts from being vulnerable while Gawker sat back and did nothing is what I would call a nice job. Cheers, Dru
