SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah State Bar is looking into how an email with a photo of a woman's bare chest was sent out to members of its email list Monday. 
 
 Matt Page, communications director for the Utah State Bar, confirmed the contents of the email and the organization's inquiry into how it was sent. 
 
 "We are aware of it and we are horrified," Page said. "Our goal is to get to the bottom of what happened and ensure that it never happens again." 
 
 Page said the Utah State Bar is considering a number of questions about the email's origin, including whether the organization was hacked or whether the photo was included in the message — inadvertantly or intentionally — by someone within the organization. 
 
 "We are looking into both of those scenarios," Page said. "At this point, we're not sure which one of those occurred." 
 
 It was also unknown Monday whether there were any cybersecurity concerns for those who received or opened the email, he said. 
 
 Once the inquiry is done, Page said the Utah State Bar will release its findings to its members. 
 
 A second email was sent quickly after the first, including a message from the organization's IT director, Lincoln Mead, apologizing for the "offensive image" and announcing that the message was being investigated. 
 
 Mead confirmed Monday that the message was only emailed and was not published to the organization's website or any social media pages. 
 
 Chase Thomas, policy and advocacy counsel at Alliance for a Better Utah, was among the attorneys who received the email. 
 
 The subject line of the email invited recipients to the organization's convention happening this weekend in St. George, Thomas said, announcing, "2018 Spring Convention Walk-Ins Welcome! Learn How!" 
 
 Nothing about the email raised any red flags, Thomas said, so he opened the message as he sat in the House gallery at the state Capitol. 
 
 "I was expecting a routine email I would most likely scroll through and delete. But I had to scroll through and delete a lot faster than I had initially anticipated," Thomas said. 
 
 Thomas said he was lucky to be seated on the top row of the gallery, so no one was sitting behind him, but an intern who was with him got a look at the message. 
 
 In a tweet, Thomas warned others, "If you recently got an email from the Utah Bar, be careful opening it! There may or may not be a naughty picture in it. … Guessing they got hacked?" 
 
 He received the apology email soon after. He said he's not sure what the Utah State Bar should do about the message. 
 
 "I guess it depends on what they find out during their investigation. I'm just glad they quickly sent out an email acknowledging it happened and that they're looking into it," Thomas said. ||||| SALT LAKE CITY — Lawyers across Utah opened their email inboxes on Monday afternoon to be greeted by an image of a topless woman. 
 
 The email (shared with FOX 13 by several lawyers) was advertising the Utah State Bar’s annual spring convention in St. George when an image of a woman’s breasts was somehow attached. 
 
 The Utah State Bar, which certifies all attorneys in Utah, was mortified and quickly sent out an apology to everyone on the email list. 
 
 “We are horrified,” John Baldwin, executive director of the Bar, said in an email. “We are investigating to discover how this occurred. Our goal is to find out what happened and insure [sic] it never happens again.” 
 
 On Twitter and over texts, attorneys reacted with amusement. 
 
 Yeah….opened up that email in the middle of the House gallery and freaked out! 🤣 My intern sitting next to me was laughing so hard — Chase Thomas (@ChaseThomas89) March 5, 2018 
 
 “I can’t circulate this fast enough. Hysterical,” another attorney texted to FOX 13. ||||| These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to.

– As far as emails go, it seemed typical enough. Sent out shortly after 3pm Monday, it was promoting the Utah State Bar's 2018 Spring Convention in St. George on behalf of the Bar. One attached image was a photo related to the convention; the other was of a woman's breasts. Every active attorney in the state was on the distribution list and the Bar is investigating how the photo ended up being attached to the email, which was created "in-house," Bar Communications Director Matt Page tells the Salt Lake Tribune. One attorney describes opening the email while sitting in the House gallery at the state Capitol. "I was expecting a routine email I would most likely scroll through and delete. But I had to scroll through and delete a lot faster than I had initially anticipated." Page uses the word "horrified," as does the Bar's executive director. Page tells the Deseret News an inquiry has been launched and is chasing down two theories: that they were hacked, or that someone internal attached it, either purposefully or accidentally. He says once the probe is complete it will update the recipients on the findings. Fox 13 has a censored screenshot of the email here.
