@JeremyCherfas @hazardwarning Most unfortunately, the last update I got was that, because the CEO's email wasn't compromised — my friend simply didn't notice it was the same username but a different domain — the company may not be able to provide any reimbursement.
My hope is that the CEO (she's only the regional CEO) just needs time to consult with the head office.
A friend fell for a scammer who impersonated her CEO (with a firstname.lastname@fakedomain… email) and asked her to go around the city buying Apple and Google gift cards then send photos of the codes.
To her credit, she did attempt to verify the request in person: "So you want me to send you the photos now?" Unfortunately, the CEO thought she meant group photos (that day also happened to be the last day of someone else in the office, so they were preparing a scrapbook) and said yes…
USD 2100 gone in a day and all non-reimbursable because, as far as any of the involved parties is concerned (7-11, credit card companies, banks) she bought the cards in person with her own cards, so it wasn't fraud on their side. And apparently Apple couldn't help because she didn't buy directly through them and the codes had already been revealed.
@jws yes I have. It just feels so much clunkier than before, especially in single-line text fields like file naming, spreadsheet input, etc.
I really dislike pages so bloated that they can't load on a 128kbps connection (which is what my mobile data gets limited to once I exceed my plan's limit). There's really no reason for such careless design.
Hong Kong without the MTR is interesting. Some stations are open today but half of them remain closed.
Certainly the bus companies have been raking it in these last few days.
@hazardwarning It's not too late for them to change that. Whether or not it will actually happen (in time?) is a whole other matter entirely, with Brexit on everyone's mind.
