Email marketing is big business and many companies rely on emails to keep in contact with their customers or potential customers. In the modern world of over priced pay per click ads targeted email marketing lists are the holy grail of an organization’s marketing strategy.

On January 24th I discovered an open and publicly accessible database that contained millions of records and a massive amount of email addresses.
The records appear to go back to 2014 and contained customer names, email addresses, subject line, email messaging and more internal records like host path and SMTP data. Anyone with an internet connection could have had access to millions of Pabbly email marketing’s customer records.
