First, we have this “human error” mistake with email to report today.
Hamish McNeilly reports:
An email containing the names of vulnerable children was mistakenly sent to other parents and guardians, prompting an apology from Te Whatu Ora Southern.
Dozens of parents and guardians received the email on Tuesday from the Vera Haywood Centre, a child development team based at Dunedin Hospital.
That email invited recipients to a paediatric seminar, but was intended as an internal email for staff only.
However, that email was forwarded to a parents’ email group, and the sender sent it via CC, rather than BCC.

His thread begins with this post.
