If those emails were passed through the routine internet...and not a VPN...they’re no more stolen
than a postcard in the mailroom....ANY mailserver administrator ....ANYWHERE in the world ...could easily have read them...and drawn the OBVIOUS conclusions regarding fraud...

I’m glad to see someone knows how email works—I’m always flabbergasted that people expect email to be private. Back in 1994, when I first got on the Internet, EVERYONE knew it was insecure. I recall sending a fake email, with a faked header and return address, using a USENET news reader, just to see if I could do it. It was easy.
