Bing Marketing is really dumb, leaks thousands of email addresses of users!
Today Bing sent me an email notification about the new Bing & Ping preview program coz i’d signed up for the preview and asked to be contacted when it released. Then I noticed something strange, Bing marketing mail had thousands of users email address in the TO: field of the email. I should say, the Bing marketing team is really dumb. With all the excitement Bing has now has made public thousands of email addresses. If this gets into the hand of spammers you might see a lot of spam in your inbox.
And now Bing team realized the mistake and have sent an apology note!
What do you guys think about this foolish act by the Bing marketing team? post your comments below! I’d love to hear your reactions too

Definitely this is a big mistake. MS should be blamed in public.
