Screenshot of a phishing email

Subject: Update to Footer Theme

“Update to Footer Theme

Dear User,

Our CEO, James Mitchell, recently shared something personal with the world. He came out as gay. To show our support for him and the LGBTQ+ community, we are adding a pride themed footer to all emails sent through SendGrid.

This footer will now appear on emails sent from your account.

We understand this may not be right for everyone. If you would prefer not to display it, you can turn it off at any time using the link below.”

Subject: Update on Email Theming

“Update on Email Theming

Dear User,

In memory of David Mixner, a prominent LGBTQ+ activist who passed away earlier this year, our CEO has decided to apply an LGBTQ+ pride theme to outgoing emails and footers.

This theme will be automatically applied to all footers in emails sent through our platform.

If you do not wish to apply this theme, you can remove it by clicking the button below or by updating your preferences in your account settings.”

Ooo now they are targeting racists

Phishing email targeting SendGrid users:

For the next one week, all emails sent from your account will feature a commemorative theme honoring George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement.

This change applies platform-wide to all users.

“#BlackLivesMatter In Memory of George Floyd (1973-2020)”

Thank you for your support.
