[amsat-bb] AMSAT Member Mailing list

[Kevin]

  Hello All,

   In a previous email to the BB I posted the link to the letter we all 
received as members.

https://www.amsat.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200710_AMSAT_Leadership_Explains_Legal_Expenses.pdf

I was re-reading it and something caught my eye that I had missed before.

"AMSAT did not provide a copy of its membership mailing addresses to 
Open Research Institute."

    Just how was our mailing list compromised? This seems like a serious 
breech of security, was this a hack? was any other information lost?  
was it ever found out how it happened? is our mailing list as they say 
"out in the wind"?

Michelle could you possibly check from the ORI side and backtrack how 
ORI came into possession of the AMSAT mailing list, was it something 
that was procured online?

AMSAT needs to follow up on this privacy issue and report back what it 
found and any steps that were taken to prevent this from happening in 
the future.


I look forward to an answer
