[ITGURU]

yes,along with some other staff in the school who've reported it!

[JordanT91]

Us too. Lots of email addresses visible by the looks of it. Amateurs. Have they just breached the Data Protection Act in the process of telling us that they've already had a data breach?

[sparkeh]

Yeah got it as well *rolls eyes*

[Chaniel]

Hahaha, we got it too... classic crapita though!

[Chrisauk]

Here too.

[localzuk]

Yup, we got it here.

[DJ-1701]

It looks like a phishing attempt to me. I don't remember CapitaSoftware.com being one of their official sites.

[localzuk]

Interestingly, the domain is registered to "Capita PLC" but the details are for one of those "hide who you are" companies, CSC Corporate Domains Inc, who's own domain "www.cscprotectsbrands.com" is blocked by Chrome as phishing.

I guess they sent it to thousands of people, it seems to be going in batches of 100 emails. I and a few other colleagues received this email in separate batches. Probably big sorry email for disclosing a large number of email addresses will follow. How does it relate to GDPR?

[supportman]

Yep got it as well, exposing 100 peoples email.

 

What a joke they are

[rush_tech]

Yes I've got 100 addresses and my colleague has another 100

I've recently had a licence renewal email with a link to the same domain for their privacy statement. Very odd that the domain is behind a privacy company, but I think the domain is genuine.

Someone pressed the do not use button

[lewisburgess]

https://who.is/whois/capitasoftware.com

 

Domain is owned by Capita and has been for a couple of years.

 

Although...

Could still be spoofed.

Thought I would stop by to let Steve Ainsley know that his incident is logged under reference INC0017274 incase he and the rest of Capita's email database were unaware...

[MrMat]

Steve Ainsley here, has anyone seen my call?!

I'm putting £2 e/w on Steve Ainsley not being real, or at least not working at Capita (this morning).

[kingoranks]

[Boredguy]

Capita are aware and issue is under investigation

[DrCheese]

[jimmy_2k]

Someones about to get a ton of marketing leads :-(

[caffrey]

Just in time for BETT

[CHiLL]

My boss got one that was addressed to ~100 different recipients

Our public enquiry mailbox got one that was addressed to ~100 different recipients again

 

Someone did an oops.
