The Bloomsbury Patient Network, a UK-based HIV support group, has been slapped with a £250 fine by the Information Commissioner's Office after exposing private patient data in an email blast. The email newsletter was sent out to 200 patients and instead of using the "bcc" field, the organization accidentally used the "to" field revealing the email addresses of the other patients.
