Hard to work out what's actually going on here from that article, but it sounds like GitHub Enterprise sent out a bulk email with all 3000 recipients in the CC field of the email?
- steveklabnik 14y agoThat's how I read it.
- jaryd 14y agoThis morning I received a set of emails from Github Enterprise that looked like the following: -------------------------------------- To: [massive list of GE user emails] Subject: NotMyInc Inc., your GitHub Enterprise license expires in 31 days Body: We're reaching out to remind you that your GitHub Enterprise license is coming up for renewal in 31 days: NotMyInc Inc. License 123456 Created: April 18, 2012 Expires: April 18, 2013 Whenever you're ready, you can place your renewal order here: https://enterprise.github.com/purchase https://enterprise.github.com/purchase If you have any questions about this renewal process, or if there's anything else we can help with, just reply to this email and we'll be glad to help. Thank you for choosing GitHub Enterprise! The GitHub Team --------------------------------------- Each email was addressed to a different customer whose license is (apparently) soon to be expired.
