It started with an unsolicited email

[__invited__qaddosh]

I received an unsolicited email from this organization. I never signed up for it and I have no idea what this place is about. I unsubscribed from the emails. But then I got a little curious and selected the reset password option on the login page. It sent a reset password link to my email, saying that my username is "__invited__qaddosh". Who invited me? How did I get this account?

Hello,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I can assure you accounts cannot be created on your behalf but to further assist, could you let me know who the email came from and what the subject line was?

Thanks

Danielle

The subject line was "There Are Only Two Hard Things In Computer Science:" The sender was listed as "thwacknewsletter@solarwinds.com"

I have attached a screenshot of the relevant portion of the email.

thanks so much for sending that over to us! Can I ask for one more favor if you have a second?

Can you click on the "more" ellipsis, select "show original", save that as a text file and shoot that to me? thwackadmin@solarwinds.com

I'll be on the lookout 🙂

Thanks again!
