      I was working at a large company, and an external party that pretty much everyone in the industry was working with, sent out a regular blast email to all its users about the industry. Unfortunately, they CC’d everyone. What ensued was an infinite loop of out-of-office replies being sent to everyone. I came back from lunch and I had over 500 emails in my inbox, and they kept coming. IT had to step in to put an end to it. Pretty funny to watch in real time.

      I was working for an international company that was very modular.
      At a large event, they sent out an update to all attendees. Due to the way the internal mailing list worked, replies were sent to everyone on the list.
      All the non-english language mailboxes were set up with an automatic reply that detects the language and replies along the lines of “we speak French, if you need to contact us in English, please contact…”.

      The event update was in English.

      The mail system was down for about an hour.

      After the initial rush, I’m pretty sure there were also “we speak French, if you need to contact us in Spanish, please contact…”

    I’m going to flag every suspicious email i see as a phishing attempt. That’s why I take a mandatory federal training every year on cybersecurity.

        All I’m gonna say is if some hologram dude actually popped up on my screen and started waving my mouse around, I’m pulling the fucking plug.

    This will hit a dead end as soon as Trump sends classified intelligence in an “All Hands” email.

    Better way for the dictator in chief to directly control the government with his latest whim and completely skip congress or any other people actually in charge.
