I'm sure it will come as no surprise to anyone that #WIRED just sent me a fifth email claiming that my problem has been resolved when in fact it still has not.
I sent them a sixth email in reply telling them they were still lying to me, but I am probably going to drop it at this point. I think it's clear that no one at "[email protected]" is ever going to help me.
I suppose I may change my mind at some point, but for now, at least, there's no way I'm giving WIRED money after this bonkers bullshit.

If you took 4 in the betting pool of "How many emails will jik have to send to #WIRED asking them to remove his leaked email address from their systems?" I'm afraid you've lost. I just got a fourth useless email from them and send them back my fifth email in this correspondence. Email from them below. Reply to them is in this thread <https://federate.social/@jik/116303833640569297> because it's too long for a screenshot.

lol #WIRED just sent me a customer satisfaction survey asking me to rate one of my interactions with their customer support people. I usually trash these surveys, but you bet filled this one out.

#TechIsShitDispatch
This morning I got back a third response from #WIRED's customer support claiming once again that the problem was fixed, when once again it is not fixed and in fact nothing has changed.
At this point, I'm not sure whether it makes a difference whether it's human beings or a chatbot that is lying to me; the outcome is the same.
Below are the email I received and my response to them.
Also below is a separate email they sent me which I believe they intended to send elsewhere. 🤦

When Satellite Data Becomes a Weapon

As war reshapes the Gulf, the satellite infrastructure the world relies on to see conflict clearly is being delayed, spoofed, and privately controlled—and nobody is sure who is responsible.
