Ok, a bit of an unusual one for this site but it shows how people who are at the centre of a breach can respond. Also I really need to restart covering NZ incidents, just in case I want to SUP Surf there one. I also respect Bruce’s work.- [SK]

More incompetence from CAA New Zealand after a mass-violation of privacy involving people from around the world who filed complaints with them.

NZ CAA sent email to complainants using the TO: field not the BCC: field, thus letting know all recipients of the email the email addresses of every one who filed a complaint on this issues.
