We worked at a megacorp rental car company. Top-notch risk guy noticed the x-hacker header on our wordpress.com blog and launched a CSIRT. Automattic corp was trying to hack us. I had the infosec director sitting on my desk in minutes. They fired up a conference bridge with a half dozen VPs while we waited for the CIO.
"Get our wordpress account executive on the phone!" - yeah, don't have one, we pay 9.99 a month for a blog, they also don't have a phone number
"Open up a SEV1 support ticket" - yeah, it says their support team is on vacation this week
After about 90 minutes of hand-wringing on the conference call, I guess enough of them googled the message to figure out it was a recruiting pitch. I got confirmation from the community support forum a week later that we were indeed not hacked.
