A few years ago, I was doing something at my dad's place, where I could see/hear him watching ...

Midway thru the "news", they brought in a guest and started to interview him, and it quickly became apparent he was selling something (I forget what), and the news anchors just played along, ooohing and aaahing about how clever his widget was, how reasonably priced, why didn't more people...

It was an .

It was a 10-minute Infomercial that they smoothly shoehorned right into the middle of their prime-time "news" hour, no warning, no disclaimer, presented as just another segment of the news.

After they finished blowing this guy on their nationally syndicated news show, the anchors just transitioned right back to reporting "real" news, as if nothing bizarre had just happened.

It was truly surreal.

Dear ... emails to your accounts in 2023 telling telling people they have passwords in the wild from a breach in 2011, is , and tantamount to .

More so, without sending contex or advice as to 'where' in your notification, and asserting many log in and check hoops, then worse again, asserting other produts for use, you're now more of an IT joke.

Just so you know.. all you are doing is confirming how poorly degredaded your service has really become.

Dropbox was breached in 2011 ... i've long since fixed that issue.. It's the ONLY one breach known to be associated with my email address, stop trying to up 'Market' your user base with fear, so they are motivated to purchase additional BS services, upgrades and products.

The have a new video in their Infomercial Wars series which, in addition to being utter madness and insanely inventive, also promotes some new merchandise on to buy.

I encourage you to watch this. Real infomercials... with some modifications. It's got lots of copper and patriotism and Brett Favre too.
