- michaelteter 2y agoI had to quickly check that my Albert Heijn bonus account hadn't been robbed!
- Arnt 2y agoI tried that. Too long. Not essential anyway, IMO, the attack is much more interesting than the victim's employer's name.
- Centrino 2y agoThe only reason I clicked the link was to know what AH meant. Phishing for crypto assets is nothing new, I wouldn’t have clicked it for that.
