The Sad Tale of a Security Whistleblower
Mark Rasch, 2003-08-18

Federal prosecutors in California went too far when they put a man in prison for disclosing a website security hole to the people at risk from it.

Um I hate to tell you, dear previous poster, but you are very ignorant in the way most corporate emails work. You don't HAVE to break in and get every email on a list to email everyone. If you actually had any semblance of a clue of how things work in the business world, there IS in fact usually a mailing list for all users!. So do yourself a favor and read up before you go posting where you have no knowledge. If he worked there, he would have known the name of that mailing list. Companies do that all the time to keep all of their employees informed of what goes on.

Ignorance is the most dangerous entity in the computer security field, and the above post proves it.
