Got this email from The Register "Hello, This morning the name and email address you used to register for The Register was mistakenly sent to 3,521 individuals, also readers of The Register. We've contacted them asking them to delete the email and respect your privacy. We are of course terribly sorry for this error and have reported ourselves to the ICO. Our initial statement is here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/24/email_blunder/ " & "The two-stage send process that is the norm for all of our mailers was over-looked because someone was in a hurry."
Do you think the 'someone' had a pointy beard? ICO = Information Commissioner's Office So far I'm aware of this year play.com who insisted I gave them a email in order to buy a game got hacked. My ISP sent an email out to all the subscribers of the server I use. Unfortunately instead of using BCC they used CC. Now this. -- Kind regards Andrew Stirling _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
