Hi all - public service announcement...
I am a very occasional poster, but I came across a serious breach of privacy recently that is a learning experience for us all. It was the result of an innocent mistake, but is probably worth sharing (Mods - I hope this is OK, drop me a line if there is a problem). I wasn't sure whether to post, but eventually decided that this is worth sharing.
I well known escort recently sent out a round-robin email out to all her clients. Unfortunately she used the wrong email settings and all her clients were copied in the email. Obviously some used email aliases, but others used their real names and emails. But some identities were revealed. The escort in question confirmed to me that this was a very innocent mistake... but that wont solve the problem.
I strongly recommend that you use an alias email in your communications. Even if an SP is very professional and takes confidentiality seriously, mistakes can still happen.
The escort in question can remain nameless. Naming her serves no purpose, and I'm 100% sure she won't make the same mistake twice!
Stay Safe
