I agree with you up to a point. Diligence is going to come into this as it does with Bribery where again laws in one place target crime everywhere. How diligent were Hats in picking WSP to deliver email? You don't have to have done a rectal exam of every employee, but if it was obvious to half the world what was going to happen, a prosector might be able to get a jury to conclude Hats should have known too.


Sure, but the original comment alludes that the emailer is a best in class in the industry, and not some Nigerian fly by night company. Obviously there is still some due diligence to do, but I wanted to spell out what was being implied so that the unlikliness was also shown.

TBH, email is a bad example anyway because good providers are already pretty quick to boot bad actors so they don’t end up on blacklists.
