Whoops! Users names revealed in anonymous survey
Australian current affairs website Crikey.com.au reports:
An email from the "club drug project" was recently sent out to people having previously done a survey on party drugs in clubs about 12 months ago, inquiring as to whether these previous participants wanted to take part in this year's survey. The idea isn't a bad one - get real info on drugs from the people taking them and being exposed to them. All anonymously, too. The bad news though? The email addresses weren't sent blind, and were instead visible to every other person who got the email. Not so bad for the people with nondescript email address, but not so great for those who used their work addresses. They did realise their mistake and try to recall the email, but arguably, the damage was already done.
At least all those kids know who to email for their next pills...
