This and a related issue (leakage of user details when creating vCards for GAL users) have bothered me for a long time. Securing the attributes in AD is an idea that hadn't occurred to me, though -- thanks! -- but so far my attempts with ADSIEdit have failed. I've found no way to secure the information other than to omit it from the GAL itself.
