Hello,
I received (maybe you all have) a CTbird alert from Donna Rae Caparosa
(sorry if I'm spelling that name wrong) with no subject and a link for
"the miracle product" which I did not click on.
Thanks,
Dana

Yes, it appears that the email with the blank subject was from a hacked email account.  I have already written to the email account's owner.
And yes, DO NOT FOLLOW THE LINK IN THAT MESSAGE!!!
Be careful what you click on, everyone.
And good birding!
