Why does the author obsess about nude photos? The security hole exposes any photos. This does a disservice to the public (I must not have anything to worry about, I don't have any nude photos on there), and generally makes the author seem like a really creepy guy.

Looks like the author (?) is female (Katie Notopoulos), but reading further all I can say is that the whole article/post comes across as just... incredibly casual is the only way I can describe it. For instance, the 4chan ref:

>For a long time, I’ve seen threads on 4chan of images of girls’ “hacked Photobucket” images, but I typically ignored them, having little interest in photos of possibly underage nude girls.

Huh. I had completely skipped the byline. In either case, the tone of the article says more about the author than the facts.

This security loop hole has been there for years, they haven't fixed it since I last toyed with it a long time ago.
