The hoax message received by subscribers to the ANL mailing list last night
at 22.17 was the result of a hijacking of the automated mailing list hosted
by poptel.org.uk. This mailing list is entirely separate to the ANL's email
account and internal network: at no time were any subscriber email addresses
accessible by the hoaxer, nor was the ANL's internal network at any risk of
being hacked.
The mailing list software simply forwards emails from a restricted list of
permitted senders, without any access to the list of recipients being
granted to senders.
Poptel has since increased the security on the mailing list service,
rendering any future hijacking near-impossible without the perpetrators
being traced.
The ANL would like to reassure its mailing list subscribers that the privacy
of email addresses was and remains our highest priority.
