Issue/Introduction

What is an "undisclosed recipient" as noted in an Symantec DLP SMTP incident?

Resolution

The term is a synonym for Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) recipients.

A recipient email address was put into the BCC field on the email client.

As Symantec DLP reports all BCC recipients you can safely ignore these "undisclosed recipient" references.
