@aeva one of my coworkers got a winrar license as a white elephant gift

he reported the email to security when he got it before the gift reveal event

ticket closed with reason "i have it in good confidence that this was a white elephant gift, not a phishing email"

@noah that is amazing
@aeva i think he asked in the form "give me something no other human possesses"
