I got an email from Infosec once that my password and username had been found in a batch-file purchase off the dark web. My employer has active measures looking for our data for sale on white, grey and black markets apparently.

Yeah, our company has been the target of a heavy campaign recently, and the InfoSec dude have their work cut out for them.

The hackers have now started cultivating employees' personal email addresses, and are sending them emails "from our CEO".

Because our company has been working from home since March (and many of us since mid-February), the line between "personal" and "work" has been blurring, so these attacks on people at home are being somewhat effective.

I do not envy our InfoSec team's work right now...
