First Breach
The list is far more longer that that, extends down to more than two (2) pages based on a 1024×768 desktop resolution. Please note that this is the first email that Youth Malaysia sent. ===================================================== There was a second email and folks began to reply all on the second email. Self-Promo-Happy-Blog-Mofos began to advertise their sites through by replying to all email addresses in the list. |

A plethora of SPAMessages
And so the wave of SPAMessages began to pour in. Not exactly a tsunami, but irritating, annoying nonetheless.

I think they forgot to put one up. π‘
Either that, or they purposely did not have a privacy policy. β‘
So they can violate our privacy! π

If they did have a privacy policy, will you sue them?
I’m guessing, no. Anyway, after the notification was sent out by Hong Kiat another another recipient advised other recipients could ‘mute’ the email if using Gmail.
However, it occurred to me not everyone were on Gmail. And what’s worst is some of them are using normal email addresses only. Sure-la, they’ll think spam if overloaded with 30+ messages suddenly. LOL!
The conversation seemed to have died down. Probably after let out their frustration, they’re ignoring the issue now. Typical, as usual. π

Hello there, Danny!
I am a stingy mofo, so no. π
Yeah, I saw the tip to ‘mute’ the conversation too. π
Though I did not use it, just ignored that thread. π
Poor non-gmail users! π―
More reason to use gmail! π³
You mean the bloggers? π
I have yet to see any official apology anywhere though. β‘
However, in Hong Kiat’s post there was an apology thingie. π‘

[…] YouthMalaysia screwed up on their mass e-mail system where they expose near to 396 blogger’s email and thus leading other jokers to self advertise themselves so that people would check them out with their signature’s at the bottom of their e-mail. […]
