We have seen accidental use of Cc: field (remember the Bcc:...) but sending an attachment to recipients is something 
new.

"The contact details of over 1,400 security professionals have been accidentally sent out by McAfee.

The details of delegates at a recent conference in Sydney were sent on a bulk email and revealed demographic data 
collected during the registration process,
as well as the full contact details of 1,408 people who attended or registered.

The details included names, company, job title, address, phone number and email of all those who attended."
