Kellie and BCM internet security breach

[technomadia]

I have to say...  I alerted Kellie within seconds of receiving the e-mail and let her know about the potential dangers of how it was sent. She responded immediately and sincerely didn't realize the mistake, and asked if there was anything she could do to fix it.  It's an honest mistake, that is easy to make that unfortunately can't be undone - and I rest assured that she has learned from it and will do better to safe guard us all from spam in the future.

Mostly I was heartbroken for them after seeing how much effort they've done to get the first issue out.. to see it potentially met with a negative reception because of the mistake.

The new folks at BCM are doing a very admirable job of resurrecting the magazine, and I fully support their efforts. Little mistakes along the way.. eh, I'm very willing to overlook them.  I hope y'all are too.

My biggest concern was actually BCM releasing a valuable asset to the world - their subscriber list. I hope that has no negative ramifications in the future for their revenue stream.

And please please please... no one click 'Reply all', ok?

BTW.. if you have an electronic subscription and didn't get Kellie's e-mail with it - check your spam filter.

Because it was copied with everyone's e-mail address in the 'To' line, it's possible that it was easily market as spam. It was also a 4.2MB file attachment, which can sometimes be blocked by some email services.
