Anyone else get an odd, blank Disney e-mail?

[KidSilverhair]

I received a strange e-mail today, and it immediately set off my hacker/virus/spamming radar. I wondered if anyone else has gotten something like this.

The title of the e-mail reads, "Important Information For Disney Destinations E-mail Recipients." When I opened the message, it was blank. Right away then, I checked the header to see the sender's information. It apparently came from an account based at "vacation.disneyworld.com."

I Googled that website, and my AVG tells me the site is safe. However, going to that site gets you only a blank page.

So I can't tell if this is some kind of malicious e-mail or not. I don't know if a simple blank message and blank webpage mean anything ... there was no attachment, nothing to click on, nothing that appeared to be anything but blank. Perhaps it was just my e-mail reader???

So, just curious to see if anyone else has received anything this odd. I am normally pretty good about sniffing out "phishing" scams and the like - bad grammar and poor spelling are excellent giveaways, although I give high marks to the scammer who was trying to get account information from my wife by using a bankofamerica.com address. Except the "o" in "of" was a zero instead of a letter. Very clever!

Oh, I did get that e-mail notice about the Epsilon hacking, but I got it from the College Board. So I wouldn't have been surprised to get that notice from Disney as well ... but this e-mail was completely blank, as was the website address it apparently came from.

So, I'm guessing it was the notice that Epsilon e-mail addresses had been hacked, but for some reason, I didn't get any text.

Try looking at the message header and see where it really came from.

I recieved that email today-- but it had a full message explaining how disneys systems were hacked into giving access to everyones email account to whoever hacked in. Appologizing and assuring that no other ( credit card, address, ss no) info was made accessed.

address is as you stated.

The legit source of the messages appear to be a server at bigfootinteractive.com (don't know if Epsilon is affiliated, but I believe so), and should contain a DKIM-Signature header for vacations.disneyworld.com.

A blank message could have been a glitch.

Basically, it means we will all get even more spam...

I got the blank e-mail too. It was from this address...

disney@vacation.disneyworld.com

...and the subject line was this...
