WHSmith data breach leads to hundreds of emails filling up subscribers' inboxes

Misconfigured contact-us form on retailer's website sends data to company's entire mailing list

Newsagent WHSmith has compromised users' private data sending it in hundreds of emails to customers due to a misconfigured "contact us" form on the retailer's magazine website.

Information typed into the form, which is supposed to then be passed on to the company itself, was instead apparently sent to its entire mailing list.
