NASDAQ wrote the other week that they were hacked badly. They
closed the site for some days. Now I got this email:
Dear Community Members:
We are pleased to inform you that your "My NASDAQ" account
is again online and available. We invite you back to enjoy
all the features you have come to rely upon, including your
portfolio tracker, stock ratings and social features. To regain
access to your account, please set a new password by going to
http://community.nasdaq.com/reset-password.aspx, entering your
email address, and clicking on the "Reset Password" button. You
will be sent a verification email which contains a link. You can
then use that link to reset your password.
Thank you for your patience. You are a valued member of our
audience and your security is paramount to us.
Sincerely,
Bruce Hashim

The trouble I see is, the URL given is in an HTML mail, and
it doesn't actually go to what is being displayed. Rather,
it goes to (numbers munged):
http://www.mmsend10.com/link.cfm?r=[xxxxxxxx]&sid=[xxxxxx]&m=[xxxxx]&u=NASDAQ_OI S&j=[xxxxxx]&s=http://community.nasdaq.com/reset-password.aspx
Now, I'm not saying it's not legit, mind; I don't know. But mmsend10.com
is owned as follows:

That does not exactly foster trust on my first take.
