Hack Week

This must be Hack Week.

While I'm still locked out of my hacked Facebook account, I woke up this morning to about 600 emails subscribing me to about just as many sites and subscriptions. 'Spent the day updating passwords for all of my accounts and at the end of the day decided to sit down and have a beer and research it on YouTube and found this guy's video.

This is exactly, to a T, what happened to me, even down to archiving the purchases so that I wouldn't notice them.

I'm kind of relieved, considering the amount of email subscriptions my email address got signed up for, but was lucky enough to notice the Amazon notifications while I was mass junk-mailing my inbox. I realize that it doesn't take having a password to subscribe an email address to a mailing list but considering that my Facebook account was just hacked this week as well there was a certain amount of paranoia, and still, an ongoing sense of questioning where the data breach came from and if I've been able to close it.

So, Don, I'm sorry to inform you that Patty never received her "Chanel: Collections and Creations Hardcover book" that you sent her since the order couldn't be sent on same-day delivery, but I do hope you enjoy the three HO2ME High Pressure Handheld Shower Heads remodeling job you're doing on the house. Considering you only have a 1-bathroom house the two extra spares should last you a lifetime!

I do, admit that sending the $1.49 Summer Simulation Fruit Earrings for Women to my address was a nice gesture, but my wife has a bit more expensive taste than that.

Hopefully after selling your Christmas trees (I know it's only July) you can afford your own Amazon Prime account.

Update: The shower heads were returned for a refund (to my account), which makes this situation even more bizarre, hinting to the idea that this wasn't intentional, or somebody has some very naughty teenagers in their household.
