Topic: security issues at bitmain? (Read 149 times)
Data breach was a little while ago. For example, I made an account a couple months ago and did not get a call.
But to answer your question: Yes, it appears they had a data breach since the fraudster had your contact information and knew you were interested in miners.
hell...i did received it, but i missed it. anyway..the issue stands..they had a security breach. 
You probably missed another email from them 08/23/2017:

i have received a call from a china allocated number for a "limited" and "special offer" done by bitmain regarding the sell of a antminer s11. the caller had my correct phone number and also one of my email addresses. i do not trust the "offer" and i think the bitmain customer data has been breached. ideas ?
I received this from Bitmain a few days ago, maybe you didn't get it or missed it:

Dear subscriber,
We have recently learned that someone has been calling Bitmain customers. The phone number appears to be our customer service number in China. The caller claims to be offering an "S11" miner. Rumors of a Bitmain S11 miner have been going around the internet for several months. Bitmain does not offer an "S11" miner and has made no announcement of such a miner.
Please be advised that Bitmain never contacts customers by telephone to announce new products.
