I uploaded your email address to GitHub

Further to my discovery of the data leak earlier today, I spent most of the day trying to figure out what had happened. Finally, on a walk with Lucy after we knocked off, the lightbulb went off.

I didn't, did I? Surely not.

I did.

I uploaded a .csv containing your email address to a public GitHub repository. (For the non-technical of you: that's just a web page. I published your email address on a web page.)

Good news: not a 'hack' in the traditional sense. Just a dumb mistake.

Bad news: oof. Johnny. So bad.

To you, whose address is now public, I can only offer my humblest and sincerest apology. Unless you know me personally you won't know what this means to me.

Full report to follow

I'll write this up in detail tomorrow. There's a lot to learn.

I haven't mailed everyone affected yet because there hasn't been much to say. I'll send a link to tomorrow's post once it's up.
