Such a mess. They tried to recall it too lol.

I have all the emails from J to Z, 1150 to be exact.

Very thankful the email they have is on a sub-domain, and I rarely use it so will keep an eye on it then probably disable that address in the likely chance some idiot hits reply-all.

Oh that's special...

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

You should at least "reply all" to let them know of their mistake....

Closely followed by many helpful people "replying all" to tell everyone to stop using reply all.

Please don’t haha.
Gmail had enough trouble opening the email on my phone with the number of recipients, I’d hate to see how it’d behave with hundreds of emails pouring in. Think of the out of office, the “uNSubSrIbE!!1!”, and the “don’t hit reply all!” emails. Yuck.

To be fair they have literally reported this data breach to the affected people in seconds. A+ for breach reporting speed

also to be fair, their follow up for the breach wasn't very clearly stated.

There was alot of fluffy speak and blame pointing to say something like we are sorry we accidentally sent out your contact details
