Advisory on Email
Email Wiretapping
Richard M. Smith, Chief Technology Officer, Privacy Foundation
2/5/01

"The Privacy Foundation has recently learned of an exploit that
allows the sender of an email message to see what has been
written when the message is forwarded with comments to other
recipients. We have nicknamed this problem "email
wiretapping" because the exploit allows someone to
surreptitiously monitor written messages attached to forwarded
messages."

"Affected email readers include Outlook, Outlook Express, and Netscape 6 Mail."
