ICO publishes guidance on email communications

The U.K. Information Commissioner's Office warned organizations against using the blind carbon copy function when sending emails containing sensitive personal information. The ICO also published guidance for organizations on protecting personal information when sending bulk emails. "Organisations that use and share large amounts of data, including sensitive personal information, should consider using other secure means to send communications, such as bulk email services, so information is not shared with people by mistake," the ICO said.
