The versatility of tarp/hammock camping: a thread.

Hammock tarps come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Mine is a large rectangle with tie off points every 25% of the length.

Here's an example in "storm mode". I initially rigged it in my most common configuration, much flatter and with the corners folded up to make a hexagon. But around midnight a ferocious wind came up so I snugged down the edges and crossed the corner flaps to block off the ends. This mode has weathered mountain thunderstorms and tropical squalls. Unfortunately, my trees were small enough they kept the hammock bouncing for the rest of the right. 🙃

Ok, so all the orgs who have sent mail to the domain have now received this message, about 50 different orgs in total:

Hi Folks,

I’m an information security researcher based in the United States. I’m currently conducting research into how organizations handle “soft-deleted” user accounts—specifically cases where email addresses are replaced with domains like deleteduser.com.
You can read more about this research here: https://mike-sheward.medium.com/deleteduser-com-a-15-pii-magnet-c4396eb21061

I registered the domain deleteduser.com last week and began receiving emails immediately—many of them from a variety of organizations, including yours.

You are receiving this notice because an email from your systems was sent to an address at deleteduser.com (or deleted-user.com).

The emails received vary in nature. While some are low-risk (e.g., marketing or test communications), others contain varying degrees of personally identifiable information (PII) associated with users who were likely intended to be deleted from your systems, or individuals who these “deleted" users were able to access.

Please note:

-I have not retained or stored any of the emails received.
-No data will be shared or disclosed.
-This work is conducted in good faith as part of ethical security research.

However, this behavior may indicate that user data is not being fully removed or anonymized in your systems. In some jurisdictions, this could present compliance risks under applicable privacy regulations.

I recommend reviewing your outbound email logs for messages sent to deleteduser.com or deleted-user.com to identify the source systems and address the underlying issue.

While I have not retained message data, I’m happy to assist further if helpful (this may require waiting for additional messages to arrive).

Kind regards,

Mike Sheward
