Oops! McAfee discloses 1k customer e-mails
McAfee Australia leaked 971 customer e-mail addresses in a botched e-mail marketing campaign last week.
The addresses of the recipients were placed in the visible TO field instead of the BCC field.
It's an all-too-common mistake, made especially embarrassing for McAfee because it's not the first time in recent memory something like this has happened.
... a good DLP should have picked this up.
I wonder where they could have gotten one from...

Yes you need a vacation, but can't you do a little biddy podcast?
Just when some of us get addicted to Risky Biz....
Lots of lulz to go around.
Work on the next episode begins tomorrow! I'll be scheduling sponsor and feature interviews, reviewing the last couple of month's news etc... then you'll have 44 weekly editions.. in a row! :)
O did U C that someone hacked Colbert Report and Daily Show twitter accounts?
And they haz lots of followers.
Oh and glad you will be working on new podcasts.
