Minger Reviews Pinger

A privacy flaw that shows up in Sprint's Picture Mail service.

The biggest privacy flaw I see is the cc: mode of the messages: every recipient of the message has access to the whole recipient list. On the phone, if they request, they can hear every recipient and through the web interface they can see additionally see the email addresses of each recipient. (The same flaw exists in Sprint’s Picture Mail service. Try sending the same picture to multiple girlfriends at once and cope with the disaster you get when they learn each others’ phone numbers!)
