LifeLock Bug Exposed Millions of Customer Email Addresses

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/07/lifelock-bug-exposed-millions-of-customer-email-addresses/

   Identity theft protection firm LifeLock -- a company that's
   built a name for itself based on the promise of helping
   consumers protect their identities online -- may have actually
   exposed customers to additional attacks from ID thieves and
   phishers. The company just fixed a vulnerability on its site
   that allowed anyone with a Web browser to index email
   addresses associated with millions of customer accounts, or to
   unsubscribe users from all communications from the company.

Pretty much the oldest trick in the book, too.
