Brent Council accidentally released more than 1,000 email addresses yesterday when it failed to blind copy recipients of an email about a meeting of Brent Disability Forum.
The list included the private email addresses of people on Brent Connects email lists and the Citizens Panel. The list may have been spread wider if recipients forwarded the details (it was about a change of venue) to other parties.
An apology was issued after the breach:
Brent Council has not yet responded to my request for a statement.
