Have you ever replied to an email from a company even though the email specifically said something like: "Please do not reply to this email. This is an unattended mailbox"? Many companies send such emails with a reply-to address that contains the domain "donotreply.com" thinking that this is a fake domain and the mail will just bounce back to whoever decided to respond. The problem is that this is a real domain and is owned by a guy called Chet Faliszek. This guy is receiving millions of emails from people that decide to respond and these emails contain a lot of interesting information like bank account data, contracts and more.
You can read the full article about this that was published by the Washington Post. You can also check Chet's blog to read about the interesting emails that he gets.
