Today I am disappointed and disgusted to say that #WesternDigital have sent me an email that has very important content in it, but it's inaccessible.
They've suffered a data breach, but the information about said breach has been put into the email as an image.
A #ScreenReader user without some level of tech knowledge would be unable to read that, and may actually think it's spam. To us, it goes straight to the line that says 'Copyright 2023 Western Digital' and skips all the salient points.
Utterly disgusting behaviour from such a large company about such an important topic.
If you're of a mind to do so, please boost to raise awareness.
This email is seemingly *not* a drill.
@FreakyFwoof This is even more mind-boggling because it's truly one of those cases where doing the right thing vis a vis accessibility benefits everyone, not just disabled people. There is absolutely no good or legitimate reason to send out a text email as an image. No one likes to receive emails like this. It's hostile to everyone.
@jik Exactly so. I find this to be beyond stupid.
