Today I am disappointed and disgusted to say that #WesternDigital have sent me an email that has very important content in it, but it's inaccessible.
They've suffered a data breach, but the information about said breach has been put into the email as an image.
A #ScreenReader user without some level of tech knowledge would be unable to read that, and may actually think it's spam. To us, it goes straight to the line that says 'Copyright 2023 Western Digital' and skips all the salient points.
Utterly disgusting behaviour from such a large company about such an important topic.
If you're of a mind to do so, please boost to raise awareness.
This email is seemingly *not* a drill.
@FreakyFwoof Thanks for taking the time to highlight this. I got the same email and quickly scanned with VoiceOver text detection and then moved on with my day. Already being low energy so much of the time lends itself incredibly well to not having the extra energy to advocate loudly against idiotic, low-hanging fruit like this. And as long as we stay silent, nothing will change.
@tristan I cannot stay quiet when I'm absolutely livid like that. It's just not in my nature.
