          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?
