Thema #Mailchimp: Nachdem gestern rausgekommen ist, dass Mailchimp auch abgemeldete Emailadressen weiter speichert*, habe ich deren Formular für die Datenauskunft (mailchimp.com/de/about/privacy) mit ein paar verschiedenen Emailadressen, die für Newsletter angemeldet waren, gefüttert. Bis jetzt habe ich von Mailchimp noch nichts gehört...

“Infosec veteran Troy Hunt of #HaveIBeenPwned fame is notifying thousands of people after phishers scooped up his #Mailchimp mailing list.

He said the list comprises around 16,000 records and every active #subscriber will be receiving a notification and apology #email soon. …

Around half of these records (7,535), however, pertain to individuals who had #unsubscribed from the list”

I know a lot of authors have newsletters. Some of you probably use Mailchimp for the purpose.

Be aware that Mailchimp apparently does not respect peoples' decision to unsubscribe by deleting their PII; but rather holds on to it. (As a recipient, this is *not* what I expect.)

I would not be at all surprised if other providers also do this; but in this case, it was Mailchimp being caught holding the smoking gun.

Troy Hunt · A Sneaky Phish Just Grabbed my Mailchimp Mailing ListYou know when you're really jet lagged and really tired and the cogs in your head are just moving that little bit too slow? That's me right now, and the penny has just dropped that a Mailchimp phish has grabbed my credentials, logged into my account and exported the mailing

Interesting.

Aside from the successful phish, it appears that **Mailchimp keeps a record of unsubscribed email addresses** and those are included in subscriber list exports.

So: if you have signed up for a mailing list run by Mailchimp, and you unsubscribe, the email address you signed up with (in other words, PII you would expect deleted) remains stored with Mailchimp *and* is accessible to the list owner (or anyone with access to the account).

One of the most fundamental things I am supposed to do for my business is simply send out an email once a month to people who signed up to the newsletter.

And I fail at this almost every month.

I just hit send on my Mailchimp today however, and called it "Doing The Hard Things" :)

For me, the newsletter really is the hard thing.

It's shades of whatever now in my brain. I look up #mailchimp and it was acquired by Intuit and I look up my usual "who owns...." and "controversy..." and I see stuff I don't like, as in FTC finds....
BUT compared to you know.... it pales....
