Vietnam joins the parade of countries from which I’ve received for-real, private, and personal emails intended for others due to email shenanigans and a likely soft-hijacking of the Langa.com web domain.
Today’s email-meant-for-others is from Vietnam. It’s pretty benign in itself, but is one of thousands and thousands of emails from all over the world, some of which contained other peoples’ bank and credit card account information; loan approvals and rejections; medical info; bills and receipts; job offers; security alerts, take-down/shutdown notices and (like this example) password-change emails from every major online service and business (Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Samsung…); on and on.
I’ve also gotten a ton of private corporate email containing high-value blueprints, invoices, regulatory filings, and more.
All this mail was sent specifically to “Langa.Com,” but none of it should ever have come here.
I think I’ve figured out why I’m getting other people’s private email, and if you own or manage a domain — a .com, .net, .org, etc. — I believe there’s a general lesson in what happened to me; and an easy way you can prevent something similar from happening to you!
