I am a former customer of theirs (in the UK) and just contacted CS about this. I'm also looking into contacting the Information Commissioner's Office as this issue is still open and my personal information (and that of the people I send cards to) is still available to anyone who may want it.

I'm pretty sure them ignoring this for a year is illegal as it involves personal information which their privacy policy didn't authorise them to publish. However I'll leave it to the ICO to make that determination.

Surely this is bad enough to warrant criminal prosecution? Not sure if that's even possible in the UK but it ought to be...Shameful to have sat on that for over a year. Shameful.

If this were the USA it would certainly be bad enough to warrant prosecution of the researcher. I am not familiar with laws in the UK, however. Keep in mind the similarities between this research and weev's research.

This type of blatant insecurity definitely should be punished and I wish more policy makers both cared, and made the effort to understand the terminology behind phrases like "No authentication", "Plaintext", Etc.
