        What's that rule about making databases available publicly...…

        Oops.

          I can now take over the world with publicly available email address, names, and company names.

            If you think about it, really no has a private email address. . .

            [email protected] eventually will hit a live mailbox. . .

                Not to mention that your email address has been sold countless times already.

                  Eventually you'd think that the people who are buying my email address would get the hint. I don't buy anything.

                      They always say it was something unimportant and then two years later we will find out that there were a couple of million credit card numbers too in the database.

                            Credit card numbers, heck we'd be lucky if it also doesn't contain personal details like your residence address, DoB etc.

                              I would assume that veaam licensing is generally too expensive for a credit card purchase. PO purchasing is much more likely. I guess for some small customers, credit cards payments are possible

                                Unlikely for a corporate account.

                                  Unlikely doesn't mean impossible. . .

                                  Experian anyone. . .

                                    I agree cause I'm the same way.

                                      For example, it will hit John Smith's email at domain.com!

                                      I bet that's real.

                                        Almost a week old. Peter McKay, co-CEO, sent out an email last week after the fallout.

                                          But surprisingly, no one posted about it here.. Or were there comments in another thread?
