BT to be investigated over email data

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-26480381

Wouldn't surprise me if it's true - I remember when they were ripping off their customers over dial-up scams.

Re: BT to be investigated over email data


	Quote: The whistleblower is believed to have been a former employee of Critical Path, the company tasked with building BT's new system for email. Critical Path was acquired last year by Openwave, a California-based messaging specialist. On behalf of BT, the company must gradually switch over seven million customers from Yahoo to BT. The whistleblower said the method Critical Path was using was insecure.

BT are obviously liable but they do have someone that they can sue over this. They really should be paying attention.
