Anyone recieved an email from overclock.co.uk tonight?

I have and lets say it was not nice content, it was on an email address only they have so its not from a random spammer pretending to be them?

[hnfmr]

me!!....appalled..-.-

[M@rco]

What did the email say Gordy?

[Gordy]

It was a link to a porn site...

And lets say it wasn't a soft porn site...

[shiato storm]

copy+paste here!!

edit: oops sorry, I didn't intend that - I think I posted mine at the same time as the one above, I wouldn't want you to post a porn link! prior to knowing it I imagined it to be some ranting letter... sorry for any mistakes!!

something makes me suspect disgruntled employee or hacked off customer lol

[hnfmr]

maybe that employee's computer got hit by some worm or virus?

it's possible to fake sender (header information)...

[Gordy]

If its a customer , how the heck did they get access to the database of customer details, clearly they would have failed in their duty with respect to data protection.

If it was a disgruntled employee, frankly it smacks of amatuer night.

They are going to have to come up with a damn good reason for it pretty quick and I will be requesting that they remove all of my details from their database asap. They've lost me as a future returning customer already.

Dont think so the headers have two domains both owned by the same person which are interconnected to the store.

No excuse tbh, they should have taken security more seriously

[Howard]

[MD]

the way its worded smacks of hacker from non english speaking country tbh, without trying to be 'racist' in any way with this statement.
