Vox has fixed an issue with an\u00a0email relay server which resulted in email addressed accidentally being exposed.<\/p>\n
The head of Vox Managed IT, Barry Kemp, said\u00a0Vox Managed Services uses an email relay server to deliver emails for a small number of customers “in order to ensure that their emails are reliably delivered and not marketed as spam by other ISPs”.<\/p>\n
“Under normal circumstances, HTTP access is blocked to this server in order to secure it,” said Kemp.<\/p>\n
“During the process of a service improvement project to monitor volumes and reduce spam, HTTP was activated to enable engineers to monitor using a third-party tool.”<\/p>\n
The unintended consequence was that \u201csent to\u201d email addresses of up to 44 customers were accidentally exposed.<\/p>\n
“This was escalated to our Network Security Officer and HTTP access has been disabled with immediate effect.”<\/p>\n
Vox said it is grateful to the individual who highlighted the vulnerability.<\/p>\n
“We would like reiterate that only sender email addresses were exposed, and not email content, attachments, or any other critical customer data.”<\/p>\n
