Any major corporations there?

A phishing attack and subsequent data breach is highly likely. Any companies we should be shorting?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

By shorting you would be betting on how long it takes to be found and publicized as well.

My question wasn't intended as investment advice (or even opinion). It was rather another line to point out the significance of my original post, about the possible consequences of the idiocy of someone sending out emails to unintended recipients being a major source of data breaches.

My order status has not changed. I go a confirmation last night, and the order is awaiting fulfillment. I have not received an email since last night.

This story hit Bloomberg radio this afternoon. Saying that internal codes were leaked on social media, and that TRU is canceling all the orders.

If only Bloomberg would get the story about the email going out to all vendors...

I just went back to see what you are referring to.  Pretty messed up. I would think a company like this would be more professional

Since no one made the joke yet (though now that I say it, I'll get at least 3 links to previous posts)

TRU = False

yes.
To be fair, a lot of the email addresses are "shipping@toycorp.com" and the like, as opposed to direct email contacts, but there are plenty of those as well.

They wouldn't help since they can just as easily be targeted at that address.

You're assuming this doesn't happen all day and night...
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
