Scary Email Scams...

Cheers. Filed it on theor site, although the entire email including headers wouldn't fit in the space they provide.
The password was real and clearly the result of an old site hack somewhere. Spent several hours changing a lot of passwords when I saw it.

Just rolling my eyes here. You'd think they'd provide more space.

They probably provided enough space for a normal email, but Outlook.com email servers add a ton of ridiculous headers. Not just X-this, X-that. So much nonsense that 75% of the headers and none of body fit. And the body was in two sections: a plain text and html-ready part with a lot of my name commented between every so many characters. So that part was bloated too.

Eek! I bet that made your hair stand on end!

I'm still changing passwords, just in case.
