I prefer to think not. Not out of any generosity giving them the benefit
of the doubt, but I believe it was either
1. an accident arising from their ignorance and incompetence which
has been demonstrated on several occasions recently, that whoever
put the addresses there, and their supervisor who signed it off, were
genuinely ignorant of the fact that any random address could be seen
on their public facing server (be aware that to obtain the email address
corresponding to a known user as a person required prior knowledge
of that person's device identifier), or
2. they genuinely believed that this security through obscurity
was sufficient for the purpose.
AT&T were still wrong in either case. So was weev, yes I agree with
f-secure (see post above). And the two wrongs still don't make a right.
You see a judge who doesn't like Keats can send you down for
contempt if you quote it in his court, is that right as well?
BTW I can tell which day of the week Google took its StreetView photo,
but that is local knowledge that might not interest an average nark.
