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.
