A few days after the emails first went out, Ubisoft has responded to its accidental leak of around 500 fans’ email addresses with.. .another email.
While a “sorry” might have been appreciated, all users received was a short message that read:
Dear User,

Saying your email address had been “gathered without following proper privacy guidelines and procedures” sure sounds nicer than “we accidentally sent your email address to thousands of complete strangers”.
