Hi, I just got this email in my spam. I didn't click on anything but I checked and there was a data breach with Amtrak last month. Is this legit?

Hello,

We are the ShinyHunters hacking group. A few months ago, we gained access to your devices and started monitoring your online activities.

What happened: We gained access to the Amtrak.com database where you have an account and easily accessed your email. You weren't very careful about the links you opened. A week later, we installed an exploit on your devices, including your phone, giving us access to your microphone, camera, keyboard, and all your data. We have your photos, browsing history, conversations, and contact list.

Among other things, we discovered that you frequently visit adult websites and watch explicit videos. We managed to record you and created videos of you pleasuring yourself. With a few clicks, we can share these videos with your friends, colleagues, and family or even make them public.

Proposal: Send us $2000 in Bitcoin to the following wallet: 1siP26m1e1ekxGk6XKj8XUyzwHhstycMt

We'll delete everything immediately. You have 48 hours from the moment you open this email. Once the payment is received, we'll remove the malware from your devices.

What you should NOT do: Do not reply (email was sent from a hacked account). Do not contact the police or anyone else—we'll release the videos along with other stuff all over the internet. Do not try to reset your devices—everything is stored on remote servers.

What you don’t need to worry about: We will see your payment immediately—the wallet is generated specifically for you. We will not share your videos or other things after payment—there is no reason to continue causing problems.

Does anyone know what's going on with the hospital hiring/job posting? I've heard several different things from people, from the hospital on a hiring freeze to fake job postings/recycled job postings. I've reached out to their HR a few times and was ghosted by voicemail, so I'm not sure if I should even bother applying if they don't have their act together. I've also seen several articles about their mismanagement and financial crisis but they don't seem to be very transparent to the public.

I'm not sure if I should check yes on the other impactful experiences question. When I was in middle school, my family's farm was foreclosed on due to a job loss. It was a toll on my family and the legal/bank payments left us without much money. My parents still kept us fed and managed to buy a small house but they didn't contribute anything to pay for college and I managed to get enough scholarships to cover my tuition and some room and board. I had multiple jobs throughout high school and college, but this was mostly to pay for school fees, clothes, etc, and I never contributed it to the family income. Would this count? I don't want it to come off as shallow or entitled, as I imagine a lot of other applicants have had similar experiences.
