(This security leak was plugged in under 24 hours from reporting… Luke from Zopa confirmed fix in comments at the end of the post. This note was added after the security leak was fixed.)
I was randomly checking my stats on Zopa and noticed that a person with whom I am familiar had chosen to help my Zopa loan… Thank you!!!
There is a feature on Zopa that allows you to send a thank you note via the website… So, I decided to do just that and I sent the note…
Moments later I received an email on which I was cc’ed… Now I have this person’s email address. Seems like a security leak to me.
It is not like I couldn’t have gotten in touch with this person in another manner… But if the person was a total unknown Zopa just sent me their email address…
I am open about my email address, but I know some people (my wife for example) would be quite upset at her email address being given out…
I informed my contacts at Zopa and they insured me that this security breach would be addressed right away with utmost priority.
If you are interested in a ZOPA CD consider helping out my loan… I promise I wont send you a thank you note to obtain your email…
