JRowley Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Yes, I got it twice, I presume its a test which went wrong, just got another one apologising. I suspect someone has just lost their job.

CAM Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 They were hacked according to the InfoSec bods on Twitter.
tech_guy Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Yes, I got it as well - defo hacked. Edited June 25, 2014 by tech_guy
JRowley Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Will be interesting to see the outcome of this, I find it quite strange given that the first part of the notification was sent previously as breaking news. Perhaps the exploit they used doesn't allow you to create new breaking news bulletins, just resend old ones which can be modified. Or it was a genuine mistake and it was just meant to be sent internally.
tech_guy Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Lol, The Poke is saying it's a BBC Intern on their last day on the job...
JRowley Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Or its an intern who wants to ensure they never work at the BBC again, who knows!
SiliconAlley_Sam Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Hehe - if not a hack and just a mistake someone is going to be very unpopular this morning.
Mayki5 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 BBC seems to be admitting that it was an error on their part, nothing specific though. BBC apologises after news alerts sent in error
