this one has multiple addresses in the CC field, at least one of which is always a predefined list on the senders side. and it's otherwise a legit looking support ticket response.

gonna keep looking at least as long as i keep seeing this happening
that's not going to stop the hacked system from spamming myself and every other customer they have.
