# I uploaded your email address to GitHub

> I really did.

Further to my discovery of [the data leak](/22.00.0185/) earlier today, I spent most of the day trying to figure out what had happened. Finally, on a walk with Lucy after we knocked off, the lightbulb went off.

I didn't, did I? Surely not.

I did.

I uploaded a .csv containing your email address to a public GitHub repository. (For the non-technical of you: that's just a web page. I published your email address on a web page.)

Good news: not a 'hack' in the traditional sense. Just a dumb mistake.

Bad news: _oof_. Johnny. So bad.

To you, whose address is now public, I can only offer my humblest and sincerest apology. Unless you know me personally you won't know what this means to me.

### Full report to follow

I'll write this up in detail tomorrow. There's a _lot_ to learn.

I haven't mailed everyone affected yet because there hasn't been much to say. I'll send a link to tomorrow's post once it's up.
