And if you have personal information in the signature of your mails, that’s accessible too
With virtually every Internet user batting for the SaveTheInternet campaign that rallied the country’s attention around the Net Neutrality issue, it so happens that all of the emails sent to the TRAI are now publicly visible.
This TRAI page, for example, has a list of 10,801 emails from that campaign. That’s not it: the TRAI has 16 such lists, and your mail to them might just be within one of those. Further, clicking through the links on this these pages leads to complete emails, many of which have addresses, phone numbers and other personal details in the signatures.
Never mind the field day that Internet scammers and mass mailing companies will have with this information, but traceable personal details being freely available on the Internet could lead to much more than just a minor inconvenience to your inbox.
All those who couldn't find their email ids in TRAI's list, please note TRAI has *16 different email lists*: http://t.co/lPCgIxD8dw

While the SaveTheInternet campaign has resulted in a huge outpouring of support, and the TRAI has been magnanimous in promising to put all of these responses online, this could open a massive spate of unwanted spam and phishing incidents for those who participated. So in the foreseeable future if you happen detect a rise in spam mails or unsolicited calls, you may want to take extra precautions.
