-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Christopher Soghoian: [snip] In April 2007, Biofilm Inc. accidentally published on the Internet the names and addresses of over 200,000 customers who had requested a free sample of their popular sex lubricant Astroglide. This blog post highlights the fact that the leaked data could serve as highly effective bait for targeted phishing attacks and other kinds of scams. A full breakdown of numbers of requests for each state are released. These numbers are then used to estimate potential fines against Biofilm should state Attorneys General wish to get involved.
