The Washington Post has warned users of its Jobs web site that their
email addresses were exposed during a recent security breach, which
involved an unauthorised party obtaining access to the data.

The incident occurred last month, on 27 June and 28 June, and the
attackers apparently exploited an undisclosed vulnerability in the web
site....

The company estimates that around 1.27 million email addresses and
user names were exposed during the intrusion, but stresses than no
passwords were compromised. The breach did not affect people's
personal information or other sensitive details that could have
exposed them to identity theft risks, however the leak of email
addresses should not be taken lightly.
