TechCrunch BCC Fail Reveal Emails of Everyone Who Applied to Disrupt Hackathon

Hey email clients. More than 10 recipients? Make the user confirm with "Are you sure you want to send this to 11 people?"<p>And just add another message for every order of magnitude increase in the number of recipients.

A hackathon with 500 TechCrunch readers? My guess is that there will be a total of 4 lines of code written. But hey, programming is really cool!

<i>They’re also “removing” anyone who has replied all</i><p>It's TC's event and they can do whatever they want. If TC sends a reply all, it's an honest mistake. If you do it, you get removed from the list. Because they can.

<i>it's fake. just didn't want to get 100+ stupid emails in my inbox ;)</i><p>that's brilliant!

I learned a valuable lesson today ... never give out my true email address to ANYONE! :p But seriously ... do people routinely create aliases for every form they submit on the net? In this case, I had an expectation of privacy. Feeling really screwed now :(

I honestly don't understand how this is a scandal at all. Sure, it's a mild annoyance to receive 27 reply-all messages. Newsworthy? Not in the least.

This is how college flame wars get started! And it's right before finals, too!

Heh, the "removing" email was from "Techcruch Disupt"

We’d like to ask everyone at this time to stop replying all as not to negatively disrupt all 500 applicants on the list<p>Thank You, TechCrunch Disupt<p>HAHA THIS IS FUNNY (update: it's not TC disrupt writing it)

Another TC fail...
