"Ghostery Email Incident Update
May 26, 2018 – By Ghostery Team
Dear Ghostery Users,
We are very sorry! Ghostery sent out an email yesterday that resulted in the exposure of account holders’ email addresses to other Ghostery account holders and Ghostery users. We would like to provide some clarification and transparency regarding our GDPR email that unintentionally revealed the email addresses of some of our user accounts.
Summary
Ghostery sent out an email on May 25, 2018 that unintentionally resulted in the exposure of some account holders’ email addresses.
Only email addresses were exposed.
You are not affected if you use Ghostery but did not provide an email address to us.
You are not affected if you did not receive the GDPR email from Ghostery.
As soon as we found out, we stopped using the email distribution tool.
Ghostery is currently working to rectify the incident and we will keep our users updated.
What exactly happened?
Recently, we decided to stop using a third-party email automation platform. In an effort to be more secure, we wanted to manage user account emails in our own system, so we could fully monitor and control data practices surrounding them. Unfortunately, due to a technical issue between us and the email sending tool we chose, the GDPR email, which was supposed to be a single email to each recipient was instead sent to a batch of users, accidentally revealing the email addresses for each batch to all recipients of a batch by adding everybody directly in the “To” field. We sincerely apologize for this incident. We are horrified and embarrassed that this happened, and are doing our best to make sure it never happens again.
Only email addresses and the fact that you are on our mailing list were inadvertently disclosed."

Spätestens da hätte man es rausschmeissen müssen.
