  We establish a relation between certain classes of flux compactifications and
certain families of black hole microstate solutions. This connection reveals a
rather unexpected result: there exist supersymmetric solutions of N=8
supergravity that live inside many N=2 truncations, but are not supersymmetric
inside any of them. If this phenomenon is generic, it indicates the possible
existence of much larger families of supersymmetric black rings and black hole
microstates than previously thought.
