Got one too. Not on my personal email, but on my work one (that has never been used for subscribing to HBO, unsurprisingly).

My work email address is in github and some other public email lists

How do they get the email address if a user never entered it into their system?? This is mind blowing

As I stated above, I have a unique email for direcTV (now closed). It is DirecTV that shared our email with HBO. Likely to market to us. I will disable that email as I no longer have DirecTV. The email they sent this to was only used for my DirecTV account and for nothing else. This is why I am confident that DirecTV (AT&T) shared this...

I don't have a direct TV account nor have I ever used any kind of a TV cable service. I also don't use AT&T so I'm not sure. Because I also got the email.
