PGP survey invitation
This came to my inbox. However, I wouldn’t touch this with a 10’ pole.
Dear PGP/GPG user,
My name is Sven Braun and I am an MSc candidate at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, United Kingdom.
You receive this message, as your email address is publicly available on PGP public key servers.
I am running a study on the usage of the email and data encryption software PGP/GPG to understand who is using PGP/GPG and encryption in society.
I kindly invite you to participate in my survey: https://oii.qualtrics.com/SE?Q_DL=2cwWZBfUIKuwBYV_blrVb70dci9gK5T_MLRP_cOr20AuySQUMcdv&Q_CHL=email <https://oii.qualtrics.com/SE?Q_DL=2cwWZBfUIKuwBYV_blrVb70dci9gK5T_MLRP_cOr20AuySQUMcdv&Q_CHL=email>
If you have any further questions about this research, please do not hesitate to contact me <sven.braun@oii.ox.ac.uk <mailto:sven.braun@oii.ox.ac.uk>> (+44 1865 986891) or my advisor Dr Anne-Marie Oostveen <anne-marie.oostveen@oii.ox.ac.uk <mailto:anne-marie.oostveen@oii.ox.ac.uk>> (+44 1865 287208).
Many thanks in advance for your participation, Sven

Took a look at it, Looks like the person who made it has decent intentions. It's just general questions about how you use PGP (when did you generate your first keypair? is your key personal, professional, or shared?) And every question can be skipped. If you feel like helping this guy get his P.H.D. just fill it out anonymously.

MSc, not PHD

The invitation to participate in the pgp survey looks like a spearfishing attack, but I agree that it’s probably legit after contacting the researchers at Oxford. However, GCHQ has its tentacles deeply ensconced in British academia. I feel the chill. m

Got one too at a NON-cypherpunks list address. The person might be for real but the end use of the info might be 'surreal'. The address I received it at was the one I get tails update mail and not much else at. Odd that should be the address chosen when I have 8 or 9 sks registered addresses. Rr

This is how random samples work?
Lol poor guy, he'll have a severe self selection problem in his survey. Christoph Egger:
