 		Well! I received a new email from Delos:

Quote:
Delos Team Member: In order to upgrade our data security measures following recent attempted breaches, all Westworld employee system passwords have been reset. Please click the link below to update your password. You will be required to enter your unique access code to complete the process. At this time, we have no reason to fear that password biometrics have been compromised, so there is no need to re-authorize retina scans and voice activation controls.


This email came with a link back to Discover Westworld and a new access code:

Using this access code takes you to the Delos intranet at http://delosincorporated.com with lots of very interesting (and sometimes amusing) email exchanges among the Delos staff. I haven't had time yet to go through them in detail, but it sure seems like there is a lot of bad behavior! There is also another "Admin" box waiting for some kind of input code, maybe.

And the source code reveals another of these annoying hex tags:
Code:
<8cbf92b>

I'm starting to think these are just some kind of analytics tag or something. (but why do they change??)

 		I just got the same email, with the same access code. Slightly disappointing, as I was hoping they would issue unique ones.

Also, in the raw message data, it says "YOU ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION".

Haven't hit the password reset link yet, but will do so shortly.

 		And in random other things: Slate.com has an article up about the Westworld Terms of Service:

The first Flagged Comms message has a link to a new "Dreams" video.



Looking through the http://delosincorporated.com/ site code, found a reference to document.png (attached). I'm not sure what the Admin access code is, but it probably is meant to open the document file.

 		This definitely stood out to me the most in the new batch of content. They're pretty blatantly telling us that they're hiding important stuff in the site code and to keep watching.

Team: You may have heard media reports about recent attempts to breach IT security around Westworld's digital properties and servers. As employees, we would like to make sure you have the facts about what happened and the steps we all need to take to protect sensitive Delos information.

Thankfully, those users have gleaned little, but we know they are continually watching. Considering this and the fact that code can get messy, it's imperative all Westworld staffers take the time to comb through all public-facing code and remove any sensitive materials or links that may be inadvertently embedded within. The company does not want to take chances with exposing proprietary information.

Also, is "CORP RESOURCES" inaccessible to everyone? It won't let me cllick on it...

EDIT: The "CORP RESOURCES" is accessible through this link, but contains no messages like the others...

 		So is this email an unofficial hat tip to places like here? Razz

 		Is this an odd quirk of programming or is there a reason for the following difference

If you go to http://delosincorporated.com/ - there is a index with
flagged comms - 20
corp alerts - 2
corp resources - 5

Clicking the corp alerts - the LEAKED FALL STORYLINES email has the following text

Quote:
Team: Narrative has been working on a promo for the new Fall storylines in the park. Delos Strategy group has the usual concerns about hitting their quadrants, reach, appeal, etc. We're confident they'll sign off. While this is not approved or public yet, the management team thought it pertinent to begin sharing with WW employees as early as possible to grow awareness of the exciting changes coming. This is confidential and for internal review ONLY. Take a look at what's in the works here.
Best regards,
Westworld Guest Relations


The word here (at end of take a look here) is not a clickable link as one might expect. Any thoughts what this might be referencing?

The word "here" isn't setup as a link or clickable. However, given the context, they could be referencing the "Guest Hacks - Secret Guide to Storylines" document I posted earlier.

 		As far as I can tell, the "Corp Alerts" are the same emails that we've already received after registering at the Westworld site.

And nice find on that Guest Hack document. I agree that it, like the quiz, will likely become available when they 'leak' the next access code.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The HTML for the Corp Resources content is commented out. There is a Media sub-section. I uncommented the code and it displayed an image that looks incomplete, possibly as a placeholder? I can post the image, but I think that part of the site is unfinished...maybe waiting until they leak the Admin access code?

 		Hi everyone! Been a while since I've been on here, just saw the trailhead posted on the Westworld FB page and boy am I stoked to see another Abrams ARG.

I haven't gotten any farther than anyone here, received the reply from the email signup. Tried to reply to hostSPLATwestworld.com and no dice.

-------------------------

Found another code!!!

 		Ooooh. Curious?

Found in the page source for http://delosincorporated.com/intranet/#corp-resources

http://delosincorporated.com/intranet/#media

Can't get any media to play, though.

Nice find! I'm just excited that it appears more videos are coming!
