"Whistleblower website Wikileaks faced a dilemma this week when a list of email addresses for the site's donors was 
submitted as a leaked document.

The issue arose after a fund raising email on Saturday went out with all 58 addresses in the To field (instead of the 
bcc field).
The all too common schoolboy error meant that all the recipients found out the online identities of other donors."
