    I was just thinking the same.. So far for privacy concerns.. Really unprofessional in my opinion!

    Hi guys, 

    You're totally right on this. This shouldn't have happened. You should have gotten a subsequent email about it.

    Again, my apologies for this.

    So was it smart to mention it here? No one wants to do that agains Athom right? Perhaps it's better to remove that part out of the public..

    They quickly realized their mistake and a apology has been send. They're human and it's a small company. Mistakes will be made however unfortunate it can be.

    Let's be honest and fair about it: mistakes were made, apology accepted.

    You can edit your post to overcome someone is making it Athom very difficult.

    Sent out a reply just minutes after the email was received. 
    This really is a stupid mistake...would have expected a much quicker response...
    has nothing to do with a young or small company, it should not have happened in the first place..

    TL;Dr : email addresses in a Cc by accident are not a 'privacy breach' , but IANAL.

    Arnoud Engelfriet is a pretty influential lawyer though  ;) It appears every organisation has to make this mistake once.....

    Not cool! Accident or not, we are talking about a lot of adresses... 427 to be exact :/ I noticed some have a profile picture and such. Alas most mail adresses are probably linked/hooked to a google account... :(

    On the other hand, no use crying over spilled water... Let's pray none of them are happy hackers and all are just your average geek/user  :|
