JIRA leaked user email addresses
According to an email sent to some users of the Second Lifepublic JIRA by Linden Lab, a number of users have unintentionally had their email address published on their JIRA profile page.
Apparently JIRA profiles included the account's registered email address from 20 May to 24 May. Users whose JIRA profiles were logged as being accessed during that period have been emailed to alert them that their email addresses may have been exposed.
Even though email addresses may be considered comparatively innocuous, many virtual world and MMOG users value their privacy very strongly, even if they are not anonymous. This isn't the first time that confidential user-data held by Linden Lab has been unintentionally exposed, and it would be unwise to suggest that it will be the last time.
