Samsunghdd overgenomen door Seagate?

[NaoPb]

Ik ontving zojuist in mijn mailbox een enigszins zorgwekkende e-mail van Samsunghdd.

Wat ik eruit opmaak wordt Samsunghdd overgenomen door Seagate, maar ik kan het mis hebben. Zijn er hier nog andere mensen die dezelfde e-mail ook ontvangen hebben?

Voor de genen die de e-mail niet ontvangen hebben, hieronder citeer ik de inhoud van de e-mail:
