Knowledge Base access rights 'glitch' blamed for Acronis data leak

Although the leak itself was identified by Acronis on Friday 29th June, the email informing those customers whose data was included in the spreadsheet that ended up exposed only went out late in the day on Friday 6th July. DaniWeb itself was only made aware of the problem, by one of those customers, on Saturday morning. As a result, contacting someone at Acronis for an official comment regarding the incident proved a little tricky. However, Acronis did swing into action and the relevant people were tracked down in order to provide that comment which arrived very late in the day (well, night here in the UK) on Sunday.
