uh, is that an outlook-email link with someone's username in? The one linking to Alex.

Yup. Looks to be their email address. Email is from PR firm Sard Verbinnen & Co.
Safelinks have the email address of the recipient of a link.
To be fair, Alex's public profile includes a link to his email: https://cisac.fsi.stanford.edu/people/alex-stamos-0
Probably someone internally emailed Alex's Stanford profile to their blog content writer - the sender had email tracking enabled and the writer blindly copied the link.
