Corporations don't know **** about privacy

Delta Airlines just CC me an email to a person I do not know. We have the same last name but thats it.

I got the person flight itinerary, flight confirmation # and assigned seats.

Corporations care about money and not much else. If a lack of privacy starts to cost them revenue, thats when they start to care.

That is pretty bad though. I'd email the person just in case they didn't notice you were CC'd and let them take it up with Delta. I'd be pissed...

Not good but a friend of mine got someone's tax return copy once from the government. So its not just companies that make mistakes.

they know a shitload about privacy and how to exploit it to benefit their bottom line. they just don't give a shit. google and facebook are great examples of that.

Awesome. I just flew Delta when I went on my cruise.

I would probably contact the person and probably let them know of the mistake. I'd be fucking pissed and want to talk to someone. Maybe even get a free flight out of it! lol
