Primary care company One Medical has apologized after it sent out an email that exposed hundreds of customers’ email addresses.

The cause: One Medical did not use the blind carbon copy (bcc:) field to mass email its customers, which would have hidden their email addresses from each other.

Some users reported varying numbers of email addresses on the email that they received.
