Ask HN: Has SurveyMonkey Been Hacked?
I got an email from them saying they renamed to "Momentive" but this is nowhere to be found in their website.
- fspacef 5y agoCan you share a screen grab of this email?
- gtirloni 5y agohttps://imgur.com/a/qLx9tWR https://imgur.com/a/qLx9tWR It's super fishy. The origin is mta-81-50.sparkpostmail.com. [192.174.81.50] and the domain is surveymonkeyuser.com This was sent to an email address that I haven't used in years.

- gtirloni 5y agoThanks all who replied. It doesn't look like they were hacked at all. Oof. I semi-panicked because: * The email was sent to an address which I haven't used in years and which is not associated with any SurveyMonkey account * The email was NOT sent to the email address which IS associated with my SurveyMonkey account * The FROM address was suspicious (not coming from surveymonkey.com) * The origin server for the email was not from something I recognized as associated to SurveyMonkey * Their main page doesn't say anything about Momentive (you have to go in the help section to find something) * Momentive.com and Momentive.io are totally different companies
