oh, man, are hackers ever low lifes.

today is my bday, and i just got an email.
it had a phone number for a sender address, and had a footer that said it was sent from a t-mobile phone.
and the message was-

Hi Mo I know today's a special day so Happy Birthday and many happy returns!🎂

w a link to a .txt file.

jeebus.
that's about the lowest shit i have had in my email box, ever.
at least it was a totally unconvincing fake.
but man.
