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 Just musing here: if the image is loaded from a remote site, maybe they are trying to track readers and/or leaving themselves a way to edit the text later in.

If the image is attached to the email, then they're just doing email wrong.

And even for sighted users, the dark background of the picture makes the text hard to read.

@schalken I admit I have no idea, but if the info changes, make a blog post like a *real* company, link to that and then if information changes last-minute, it's obvious from the page, right?
