I recently received an email from Best Buy telling me that this was a spoof. -----Original Message----- From: Roy S.

It isn't -- I mean, I agree that it's reasonable to feel that it's sketchy, but I'm on Best Buy's promo email list, and all my emails come from postfuture. I suspect BB outsourced their mass mail operations and didn't quite understand the implications of sending security alerts through the same service. The issue is complicated by dealing with the URLs through the same source (probably for link tracking). -roy _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
