From what I can tell, it's legit. Anyone else get this? Is there any way to tell how the hell they did this and how I can stop it from *ever* happening again (excluding their "initial communication")?

Clicking the "Learn more" button would be my first step.

I use Cableone too and got that notice a week or two ago. I just clicked "learn more" and forgot about it. Is there a reason to be worried?

Windstream just pulled some sketchy shit involving the Google search bar and redirecting from Google to their own search without your permission.

Now that is fucked up, especially since they are using it against non-Windstream DNS servers.

I don't like surprises from companies I pay for a service.

I had them up until 6 months ago. They'd do something like that to tell me my bill was overdue and set to be disconnected soon.
