Every few days this month, a Korean company has sent identical spam email messages to a series of plausible, albeit unused, addresses at softsolder dot com:
As a forward-thinking hotel, we know you prioritize cleanliness and guest satisfaction.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Harington, an advanced sterilization device designed to provide
99.99% bacteria and germ elimination for toilets, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene for your guests.
Wikipedia reminds us Sir John Harington gets credit for inventing the flush toilet, thus explaining the device’s name. Surprisingly, a casual search with the obvious keywords suggests a different origin story much closer to the (nominal) company sending the spam.
Another sentence definitely gained something in translation:
A short but happy time spent on the toilet with a trustworthy friend who protects my secret and precious place from bacterial infection!
The emails have an unsubscribe link, but experience shows clicking only encourages the senders.
I wonder how much they spent to buy whatever list says my domain is a hotel …
