Re: Buckets of profit

Naw, what I posted was easy to figure out based on other exploits I've seen described.

Miscreants are already using photos to stalk people by looking them up on FB to see if FB will identify them. There are data aggregators that charge a one time fee that is a pittance for a bio based on no more than an FB user name. Some of the info may even be mostly accurate. Extend that to somebody in a home made pr0n production that may not be too happy about their performance being made public and Shekels can be made.

It's another argument against self-inflicted surveillance and posting anything personal online. The divider between "The Cloud" and completely public is vanishingly thin.
