Annoyingly misleading link bait title.
The mail was sent to "journalists", not users.
It is nothing new, just the usual social engineering basics that have been covered a gazillion times like sugar coating the recipient's ego, mentioning pseudo-personal things about yourself, etc.
Annoyance warning about visiting that site, it loads and loads and loads some images to no end. Every second or so the mouse pointer changes to loading.
- dsr_ 14y agoI was very glad to see it was an article about spamming journalists rather than the general public.
- mattangriffel 14y agoI wrote that headline and actually didn't realize people might think it was an email template for emails to users specifically. Maybe accidental linkbait, but not intended. Also which images are being loaded to no end? I've never experienced that but it sounds like something I should definitely fix..
- aw3c2 14y agoI guess it is the slideshare stuff, not sure.
