Any company email adress is primarily intended for company related issues. Even the company in question allows you to use it for personal issues, it's still mainly intented for company use. An email adressed to, up until recently employed, security researcher, HR drone or sales assistant, Elmer Fudd using his company email elmer.fudd () shadybastards com must be seen as adressed to this person in his position at the company, not to him as a person. If he for some reason can't take care of it, it's obvious that the company must take care of the message, usually by the individual who is covering for him (or replacing him). If you want to send a message to a specific individual, not a position at a company, then use his (or hers) personal adress. // hdw rlogin () hush ai wrote:
The key is *personal* e-mail. It's not unreasonable for any company to assume their e-mail systems are used primarily for business purposes. The e-mail doesn't indicate it's personal. It doesn't say, "Your Ghonorrhea test results have come back! Click here for the results." The e-mail has no contents other than a link and doesn't indicate that the "Zero Day" promise was made after this employee left the company. In fact, the subject "Zero Day" is directly related to SecureWork's business and it's entirely reasonable to expect a security company to investigate the contents. I'm actually surprised someone actually monitors these accounts and took the time to look into it!
