Hundreds of would-be paramours exposed online
Wired Blog 27B Stroke 6 is reporting on a recent story that has dozens of men fuming over an apparent prank and gross invasion of privacy. Someone by the name of Jason Fortuny posted an ad on Craigslist posing as a woman looking for an unusual and intimate encounter. Respondents were encouraged to reply along with photos. Fortuny then posted all the e-mails and all the photos online, exposing images and information the respondents probably didn't expect to have spread all over the internet. Some had replied from work addresses and at least one was sent from a ".mil" address. Not good.
