PGP irritated its security conscious customers on Tuesday by making the schoolboy error of sending out an email marketing message to a list of around 300 recipients without using the bcc field.
As a result of the slip-up, all the recipients of the marketing email (extract below) learned the email addresses of other potential buyers. Potential prospects were further inconvenienced when furious replies to the original sender from some people on the list were sent using the "reply all" option, generating a message storm." }-
