The fact they've clearly mapped out Gandi's processes to find the weak link
(The apparent opt-out to the email change request, real or not) and add
noise to exploit it makes it clear that someone put a lot of work into
this.  Pretty much a textbook example of the 'APT' we're always warned
about.

Good save!

could part of a larger plot to distract you from something you should be
paying attention to. In other words, learn to spot misdirection:
