It seems as though a vendor may be out there selling a list of "Security Professionals" who want to receive security related information from third parties -- when in actuality it is a harvested list. My company fell into the trap of receiving a list of these so-called opt-in people which managed to tick a bunch of people off. We made the decision to stop that practice for our free security intelligence report and just let it grow organically since you just cannot trust the lists anymore.
