Seriously dude this is not a big deal. This site does not have any
information worth protecting. Stop acting like you hacked the fucking
Pentagon and move alone.

 They don't give a shit and nether does anyone else.

Its a professional group who would give you the information you found if you
asked nice enough!

 4 days since I informed ACM's CEO John White of the severe data leak on
acm.org - but the leak has not been fixed

26 hour after contacting ACM and 2 hours after a reminder to the CEO I got
an email from ACM member services:

"Thank you for pointing out the security issues you located on acm.org. We
are in the process of updating these security issues."

But that was 3 days ago and nothing has changed - they did not even ask me
where the leak is!

as stated before full postal and email address data can be extracted from a
database & also overwritten

I'm going to write CEO Mr. White again and attach a sample of 2500
extracted addresses & send it to some CC's

Its weird, I mean this company is not selling flowers, ACM states on its
website that " ACM is an educational and scientific society uniting the
world's computing educators, researchers and professionals to inspire
dialogue, share resources and address the field's challenges. ACM
strengthens the profession's collective voice through strong leadership,
promotion of the highest standards, and recognition of technical excellence.
ACM supports the professional growth of its members by providing
opportunities for life-long learning, career development, and professional
networking."

so where is technical excellence here???
