Resolution

Change the Job Owner to a system administrator that contains dummy information so the original Job Owner's name is not shown on the emails.

This can be done in Admin Center (from 1H 2023 Release) or in Provisioning by doing the following:

  1.  Find EC Alerts and Notifications Job
  2.  Cancel the job if running
  3.  Edit
  4.  Change Job Owner
