Summary

An employee at Meizhenxiang used an AI tool to write Python code for sending promotional emails, but misplaced parentheses exposed all recipients' email addresses in a batch send, raising questions about whether such common mistakes count as data breaches.

An employee at Meizhenxiang used an AI tool to write code, which sent company promotional content to a large batch of customers at once. However, there was an error in the employee's Python code, with two parentheses in the wrong positions, causing all recipients of the same batch of emails to see each other's email addresses. If this counts as a data breach, then I've encountered way too many of those before—tons of companies send emails where the CC'd addresses are all visible to each other.
