The Boston Globe has reported that it distributed the names and credit card numbers of some of the 240,000 subscribers who pay for the Globe and the Worcester Telegram and Gazette by credit card….people like me.

This was not an online security breach. No, the paper the Globe used to wrap bundles of this Sunday’s newspapers had the information printed on the back of them.

If you were trying to come up with ways to shake our trust in the daily paper, this wouldn’t make it onto the list only because it is too outrageous and absurd even to contemplate. [Tags: boston globe media]
