Heatware Reveals Email Addresses Via Google Search!!!

[conjur]

I just did a Google search on another user ID I use on some other forums. One of the hits goes right to the Heatware profile page for me and it shows my email address and allows someone to click the Edit link (but, at least, the current password is required to submit changes.)


This isn't good.

Hmm maybe they should use a disposible id to verify you came from their site?

Probably explains some of the spam I get at this one address.

I wonder how long it's been like this?

Heatware accounts have ALWAYS been searchable through Google. This is nothing new. As for the 'Edit' link, if you goto your own HeatWare page through google, it will have the Edit link if you are logged into your account. There hasnt been any reports of people receving Spam as a result of their email address being displayed on HeatWare.

Thanks for checking.

Just seems like something you'd want to protect unless someone was logged into Heatware itself.
