A Grand Prix competition from Renault hit the barriers on Thursday
after it emerged that the motoring firm was inadvertently leaking
entrants' personal details onto the web.
Renault UK are offering more than 600 pairs of tickets to attend
either the practice, qualification or the actual race day of the
British Grand Prix on 4, 5 and 6 July 2008 in a web-based competition,
promoted via email. Users following a link in the email to enter the
competition were confronted with the name, postcode, email address and
phone number of the most recent entrant. Ironically, a link in the
page displaying competition entrants' details led to Renault's privacy
statement.
Pressing refresh delivered the details of someone else, providing
someone new had entered in the intervening period.
Such information could, of course, be useful to ID thieves. Knocking
up a script to harvest the data would be well within the scope of semi
IT-literate phishing fraudsters or their associates. A sanitised
screen grab Of Renault's competition site can be found here.
