Campaign Monitor Hacked
In lieu of what was reported by Campaign Monitor today, I must ask… has this ever happened to a major ESP before? And if so, has it ever happened so publicly? Either way, I’m impressed with the level of transparency they’ve shown with this debacle.
I hope they don’t lose too much business over this… they deliver an extremely effective product & service, especially for small businesses and designers. It’d be a shame if this caused them to downsize, and in effect, lead them to be less ground-breaking in the world of email. In the past, their blog has provided many useful findings in client testing as well as being one of the most prominent purveyors of the Email Standards Project. I also hope they track down and find the hackers who compromised their system. They at least deserve that much from all of the money they have already or will potentially lose.
We’ve got your backs. Good luck!
