XFX Security Breach? 5970 Black Edition Limited Stolen

[CntdwnToExtn]

Just received this in my email

Dear XFX Customers,

In light of recent events, we have come to suspect that one of our 5970 Black Edition Limited cards may have been compromised. In our current inventory check of this limited run of 1,000 individually serialized pieces, #68 has been unaccounted for. Due to evidence of a security breach in our facility, we believe it to have been illegally obtained as the product has yet been released per the embargo date. Please be aware that the person responsible will be subject to persecution by law. If any news can be provided to lead us to the apprehension of the suspect, or you can provide us with any information, please report it to security@xfxforce.com. Please do not attempt to buy, trade, or barter for this unit. We thank you for your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sincerely,
XFX

Wouldn't want to post a early review of this card lol.

Noo, it's a clever ad. Look at the bottom of the email that was sent out, It says something like "this is an XFX gamerad campaign" or something liek that.
