This isn't a conspiracy...

It's the reality of using Hotmail as a business account in 2025.

Which is frankly nuts.

But the author even says the same thing happened to them before too

95% of senior government officials across Africa will give you a fancy-ass, taxpayer funded, full color laminated plastic business card that lists their email address for official business as Gmail or Hotmail.

Like... Today. Right now. I used to have a collection. Once got one with a 3D hologram thing. Fucking hotmail and gmail address.

Yep, I don't remember the exact phrasing, but in these situations, I assume incompetence before I assume evil intent.

Maybe it is intentional but the incompetence is in how obvious they are.

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetentance

Is the saying, but it's definitely not always true.

It's more like some of the best evil can be hidden behind incompetence for quite a while
