    Several other Ferrari owners that are registered on Ferrari.com have received suspicious email advertizments in the Russian and Spanish languages that appear to come from Ferrari.com

    A bit later an email apologising for the incorrect language was sent but some of the wording doesn't seem right. My spidey sense is tingling that Ferrari.com has been hacked and I won't click any links.
    Has anyone else received this email?

    Undoubtedly the work of OceanSky's shady legions...

    I got it as well. My initial thought was that it was part of their Marketing scheme to get you to shop with the discount. I almost went shopping....

    They sent an apology soon afterward. Those emails were official Ferrari.com communications, but inadvertently sent out to non-Russian speaking markets.

    I wonder if someone can hack me a F12 order, already paid for? Triple black, please.

    Perhaps picking up those tracking cookies from the 'Hot Russian Women Want To Meet You' websites had something to do with it?






    Just kidding, of course. This one sounds like a straight up marketing glitch from Ferrari. But a co-worker who does a lot of online security research and penetration testing for us is constantly barraged on those accounts with emails and pop ups in various languages offering him 'things we know not what.'

    He swears he is not in fact looking for an Asian teen to tend to his every whim, but me and the IT Security team, we don't know for sure.
