It would not be guessable! Absolutely nothing other than proper FT stuff has ever come in since then until today. Each mail that comes into the address is copy numbered and these were sequential. Nothing before and nothing since. Mail only ever arrives from FT as I don't use it for sending anything back - hence why I know it is a one way thing.

The emails are identical in content and with a zip file payload, with the exception of name change within the text to reflect the email address that it appears to be spoofed from, which are each different addresses.

I take no issue with IB taking this sort of thing seriously as mentioned in the other thread, hence my notification as I thought it so unusual and something they would want to examine.
Thank you for the report. I have seen no similar notifications, nor are there any internal reports of a data compromise. If I do see anything along those lines, or we see other similar notices happening lately, I'll check back in.
