17GB Worth of MySpace Profile Pictures Available on BitTorrent
Posted by: nmessick In: tech
MySpace recently finally fixed a backdoor that allowed people to view any profile, whether it was public or not. In the intervening time (A Wired blog says it was since October), someone downloaded 17 gigs worth of profile pictures and put them up on BitTorrent.
People are obviously upset that someone took advantage of MySpace’s laziness in fixing the issue. Now, their photos can now be seen by all the world and not just their friends. Someday those crazy kids on MySpace will realize that if you post your shit up on the internet, people (your parents, boss, etc.) will find it because nothing is truly private online.
