    As I understand it, from an ex mod from many years ago, emails in their millions can be sent out with no idea if they are going to find real people. They can be from bought lists from another service (as HC do NOT sell email addresses and protect your personal information with maximum security, so your email address and anme are not linked to the live site, and are only in the data base.) or a randomly generated thing that appraently takes seconds to be rattled off by these crazy computers.

    i.e. How do scammers make you bleieve their email is coming from a certain bank?

    I get some of those bank scams, and as I don't even have an account with the bank, it's easy to know it's a scam anyway.


    Let's not spend more time on this, as it was only a polite advice similar to the ones issued by other large companies when they know their customers may be harmed. 

    I haven't received this HC email, neither have any mods or admin and only one poster that we know of.

    So of over 320,000 email addresses, we have seen one report. 

    There obviously may be more, as we believe the random generation of email addresses may apply.
