Post-Mortem: Unintended Email Notifications & Our Commitment to Security

Analysis published on 19th March 2025

At Amoeboids, we take data security and reliability very seriously. Recently, we identified an issue where a small number of customers received one or more email notifications that were not intended for them. We want to be transparent about what happened, what we’ve done to fix it, and how we’re ensuring it won’t happen again.

What Happened?

During routine development work, one of our developers inadvertently connected their local development environment to our production system in a way that mistakenly triggered email notifications. This was an isolated event, and after a thorough review of our production environment, we can confirm that no other part of the application or customer data was impacted.

What We’ve Done to Fix It

As soon as the issue was flagged by one of the customers, we took immediate steps to prevent any further unintended emails. Additionally, we conducted a full audit of our systems to ensure there were no lingering risks.

To further strengthen our safeguards, we have:

βœ… Reinforced internal processes to prevent local environments from unintentionally interacting with production.

βœ… Updated our policies & documentation to reflect stricter controls.

βœ… Implemented additional safeguards to catch similar anomalies before they reach customers.

Our Commitment to You

We understand that even a minor incident like this can impact trust. That’s why we are committed to learning from this and continuously improving our processes to uphold the highest standards of data security and reliability.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our support team. We deeply appreciate your trust in UpRaise, and we remain dedicated to ensuring your experience is secure, reliable, and seamless.
