Pushing The Wrong Button!

This is one of those big mistakes rarely happen: The secret list of potential suitors for Global Crossing (huge fiber optics company which went bankrupt a few months ago) was mistakenly exposed by an employee of a law firm that's serving as GC's counsel in backruptcy proceedings. He pushed the wrong button when he was sending an e-mail to the potential bidders and CCd the e-mail instead of BBCing that, so everybody could see the e-mail addresses of other bidders!
See NY Time's article: Names of potential Global Crossing bidders mistakenly revealed.
Thanks to my landlord, Murray, for taking out interesting NY Times articles for me :-)
