[ NNSquad ] Creepy exploitation of unknowingly public photos on Photobucket


Creepy exploitation of unknowingly public photos on Photobucket

http://j.mp/NdQ2Ws  (Gawker)

  "Yesterday, inspired by the "hackers" who were able to access Wired
   writer Mat Honan's online accounts and fully wipe his MacBook,
   BuzzFeed's Katie Notopoulos took a look at "fusking," the
   not-actually-hacking technique of finding private - and often nude -
   pictures on Photobucket by exploiting its privacy settings."

As a guy, I don't worry about this as much, but as far as I know there
are no nude photos of me anywhere, in any form.  Period.  And the 
universe is presumably much happier that way.
