Jokes on you, Hacker, wrong list. Like we'd leave our data just lying around on our public facing servers like that - especially when we know someone's after it!
  Here, take some junk binary data to make this filesize look appropriate.

This is the maillist we got from the hacker (who charged through the nose, by the way). Turns out there's some sort of encryption on it? What did we even pay the guy for anyway?
HR's saying they'll get someone ELSE to try and decrypt it, or whatever will make it usable, but according to the first guy it's the right size, so it's gotta be the right data if we can break into it.
What a disaster. Well, at least we got something out of it, even if we cant use it yet...

Hello employee. Welcome to your first day on the front lines of P.P Marketing. Don't let the corporate image fool you - this is a war, and you are fighting the good fight. Working here for America's number one corporate marketing firm is no easy task - each and every client is a stronghold. Each and every product is a weapon. Each and every campaign is just another battle that we must fight to ensure that our clients come out on top.

It's always important to ensure that our internal presence matches up with the external communications to increase the synergy between the brands. If you have any questions on how you should maximise the exposure of campaigns via your own online presence, please organise a Shared Learning Sessions with your line amanger.

- White, light blue, ivory or grey button up shirts, long sleeved to match the suit you are wearing on any given day
- Black, red, blue, purple or green ties are to be worn by all male staff. Solid colours only - no patterns allowed as research shows this intimidates our clients.

[winters] Terry, I'm telling you there's some seriously shady stuff going on.
[craigmore] Everyone knows that they're shady.
[winters] They literally just purchase their lists from other companies. Usually ad buys that work from the j-mail database.
[craigmore] How does that help them?
[winters] They have their own dev team that works on algorithms, working out on email behaviors, which products they are likely to take notice of.
[craigmore] Really? That's some pretty dark shit.
[winters] Rumours going round that they are working on some kind of AI chat bot that will essentially mimic users on forums and gracefully slip marketing materials into convos.
[winters] A form of AI subliminal marketing
[craigmore] Shit.
[winters] Listen. I'll dump as much as I can onto hard drives and leave if you give me a position.
[winters] I need to get out of here.

[felix] that's weird.
[felix] did you check to see if the firewall is down?
[nem] not yet.
[nem] shit.
[felix] what?
[nem] RDP to the mailserver is down.
[nem] going to the server room to check it out.

[nem] Months of emails gone.
[nem] I bet Letterman is going to be pissed about this.
[felix] Weinstein is probably going to flip his lid.
[nem] just make sure you don't get fired too.

[gscott] Did you read the memo that was circulated this morning?
[cgershwin] Ha, can you believe they expect us to work overtime and not get paid for it?
[gscott] Doesn't surprise me. Seriously, I know this is a start up operation, but they need to start treating us better.
[gscott] I took a huge pay cut just to be here.
[cgershwin] They have three months to turn it around.
[cgershwin] Or I'm outta here.
[gscott] Might join you.
[gscott] Wanna grab a beer after work?
[cgershwin] If you're buying!
