You think that's bad? (none / 0) (#6)

My employer, a major bank, recently began using a 3rd party mass mailer called Responsys for its internal communications. This firm has been on my blacklist for years for repeated spam, so imagine my surprise at receiving a series of emails directing me to use embedded links to sign on to our travel and health care providers. The links showed our domain but actually led to Responsys (BIG red flag). As far as I know I am the only one of our 160,000 employees who thinks there's anything wrong with this, although one would think banks should be leading the fight against spam.
