Abstract
University of East Anglia Sportspark officials are apologizing after a staff mistake exposed customer e-mail addresses. A recent e-mail sent out by the UEA Sportspark announcing a charity event contained the e-mail addresses of 1,200 UEA Sportspark customers. The staff member sending the e-mail forgot to hide the recipients address as is the standard practice at the UEA Sportspark. An apology was sent to all customers affected by this incident stating that the UEA Sportspark plans to implement changes to ensure all e-mail communications are checked by multiple staff members before sending.
