Many, if not all, of the Times’ readers received an email around 1:15pm ET today saying “our records indicate that you recently requested to cancel your home delivery subscription.” Virtually none had done so. Many do not even get home delivery service. We received several emails from readers concerned that the Times had been hacked or that there was a “phishing scam” under way.
