The news is starting to spread to other sites, mainly rehashes of the WSJ story which was buried in section 3 of the Print Edition on Monday..... yahoo.cnet.com Stock site glitch reveals subscriber names By Bloomberg News July 3, 2000, 7:40 a.m. PT SEATTLE--Silicon Investor, a Web site offering stock tips and management critiques, displayed the login identifications of subscribers instead of their online aliases, according to a report. The Web page has more than 300,000 subscribers who pay $120 a year to post anonymous messages that can be read by anyone calling up the site. The company, which blamed the problem last Thursday night on an upgrade in the server database, said the glitch lasted a short time and was "immediately" corrected, The Wall Street Journal reported. Silicon Investor is owned by Go2Net, a network of Web sites focused on personal finance, information searches, commerce and games.
