On the data breach subject…
Just an FYI from potential weirdo/thief/scammer that potentially saw some of you posters personal details…
On 7 September the Parra Eels sent an email asking for supporters (ie anyone on their email list) to nominate our player of the year. They needed full name, email, DOB, gender, and phone number. All replies went into a draw to win tickets to the Panthers semi final.
I voted Jakob Arthur.
Anyway, upon submission there was a link to see the interim results of the poll. Following this link allowed me to see the details of everyone whom had voted up until that point in time. At that stage there was only 20 or so replies.
I immediately tried calling the membership dept at the club only for the call go unanswered and through to the answering machine 1986 style. I tried calling twice then went back to work and thought nothing of it until now.
Luckily they didn’t associate my name to the Jakob Arthur vote. That would have been embarrassing.
i still have the email. I just filled it out under a false name. The link to see the results is gone I’m assuming because the competition is over.
The email came from
hello@e.parraeels.com.au. Replies to the email would be sent to
support@parraeels.com.au.
I can forward the email to anyone that is interested.
Screw you Optus and Parra Eels marketing teams.
