    'Serco wrote the email to tell new trainees not to contact its help desk looking for training details.

    But the staff member who sent it put their email addresses in the CC section of the email, rather than the blind CC section - revealing them to every recipient.

    When the Home Office made a similar error last year it referred itself to the Information Commissioner, but Serco is not intending to do this.'

    They are a law unto themselves.
