Oh, This is Fun

Right at my last hour of work, my inbox starts to fill up with subscription confirmation after subscription confirmation for companies and organizations from all over the place, in multiple languages. I submitted each email to IT as a phishing/scam attempt, but they were coming in faster than I could report them. Shortly thereafter, I received a spam call every one to two minutes on my personal phone (which I also use as my work number) from multiple numbers with the Belgium country code. I was able to track one of them back to the point of registration, and it said the subscriber was in Cote d'Ivoire. It seems related to my work information and I'm not seeing anything similar on my personal email accounts. I have identity theft tracking which was provided after my information was previously involved in a data breach.

I'm just tired.

I hadn't posted all that much, so it seemed the path of least frustration. I did manage to do something Thursday and Friday  […]
