Oh Ticketek..

[theducks]

So Ticketek periodically send out emails telling you about upcoming events. The one I got today was notifying me of a Dandy Warhols session coming out.

Except, you know, they put everyone's email address in the message body. All 20,000 of them. Including people like, say a federal court judge, and the 60 something helpdesk co-ordinator at ITS, and one of our academics.

In other news, what would a validated list of 20,000 Australian emails go for? I'm sure someone has already sold this one. I'll let you know if I get any email to my ticketek spamtrap address it went to ;)

Oh dear.

Also, if you're interested as to distribution of the 20,000 addresses by domain:

120 aapt.net.au
120 ozemail.com.au
120 westnet.com.au
126 msn.com
157 tpg.com.au
172 iinet.net.au
173 bigpond.com.au
546 yahoo.com
741 bigpond.net.au
812 bigpond.com
955 optusnet.com.au
972 yahoo.com.au
1029 gmail.com

You could at least post the details of the Dandy Warhols gig, although apparently they're pretty disappointing live due to being stoned out of their minds.
