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.
