Possibly a new scam email using a vulnerability finding / bug bounty theme
This one is new. I found only two other mentions of similar things, at Reddit.
It looks like an introductory email towards some kind of possible scam, related to vulnerability finding / bug bounty.
It was sent to the privacy email of this blog.
Subject:

Allegory for Information Security
Allegory is a powerful tool to explain a complex topic or summarize it, so many times I explain that Information Security should be like the atmosphere – it should be transparent (not felt, not bothering), it should prevent bad things (asteroids = malware/other attacks) from coming in, and prevent good things (like oxygen = sensitive/confidential data) from getting out.
