Uh, no offense, but baloney. It took them well over a WEEK to fix it. The original post is dated 12/19/03, by which time the original poster had "complained numerous times about this to Amazon.com, but as usual they give scripted replies that say they do not share customer information with unaffiliated third parties, etc."

Something this bad, and this easily fixed, should have been addressed the same day they got their first report and were able to duplicate the problem. Instead the news had to work its way up to the masses, as usual, before they did anything about it.

I despise Microsoft as much as anyone, but I think if THEIR web site were inappropriately disclosing millions of e-mail addresses, they'd at least TRY to fix it the same day they were informed.

What is amazing is that people have come to find it acceptable to not take the time to throrughly test for security flaws, and THEN be able to fix them later.
