Some HBO Max subscribers received a strange email Thursday night with the subject line “Integration Test Email # 1.” The body of the email said only, “This template is used by integration tests only.” There were no attachments or images included.<\/p>\n
Given the proliferation of data breaches of late, it could have been a phishing scam.<\/p>\n

In fact it was, of course, an intern who goofed and sent the missive to many subscribers. <\/p>\n “We apologize for the inconvenience,” read the HBO Max Help post, “and as the jokes pile in, yes, it was the intern. No, really.
