Seeing and experiencing destinations is how I keep on top of the trends and make on-the-ground connections for my clients.

I accidentally left my slightly-more-than-professionally-testy “I am out of the office due to a lapse in government funding” voicemail greeting up for a couple months after funding was restored, oops.
By making this information public, you have unwittingly given a hacker everything they need to complete a Business email Compromise (BEC) scam.

Oh heavens no. All I ask of an out of office is that it tells me when the person will be back (if known) and who I can contact in the interim.
