Verizon Exposes the Wrong 1,200 Email Addresses

Posted by timothy on from the but-this-was-the-before-picture dept.

netbuzz writes "If you're going to market your expertise by inviting 1,200 IT professionals to a seminar about securing data and protecting personal information, it's probably a good idea to protect the personal information of those you invite. On Tuesday, Verizon forgot that advice and blasted each of the 1,200 email addresses to everyone on the list ... and they did it 17 times."

  1. The first step in securing their servers by MikeV · · Score: 0, Troll

    is to ditch the abysmal Micro$oft Exchange, and while they're at it, ditch Micro$oft altogether. I can't believe they think they have the expertise to host a security seminar and they still run on that rubbish. But they are pretty deeply in bed with Microshaft - you have to wonder what other sensitive data they've allowed to leak out - or rather, that they've sent out to any Tom, Dick and Hacker in the world thanks to their insistence of using Gate's solitare-playing software as if it's got enterprise capabilities.
