http://www.msfn.org/ just revealed that PayPal is leaking email addresses, due to a flaw in PayPal's opt-out email link.

A spammer with an automated program can quickly get 1000's of PayPal customer addresses!

This reminds me of SquareTrade tranfering passwords in plain text and displaying them in the Address bar.

I emailed them about it, they still havn't fixed it to this day.

Very ironic. The company that says they make people feel secure online are offering your password to the world without any encryption.

Oh good grief. Maybe that explains the hundreds of spams I get every day.

And now many more spammers are learning how to get lots of neat e-mail addresses. . . .
