Photobucket Privacy Breach Leads to Racy Photos Going Public
Oops
What happens on social media doesn't always stay on social media.
That may be the unfortunate lesson for those who've recently had private photos accessed and shared due to a privacy gap on the photo-sharing website Photobucket.
Nude, explicit, and R-rated images uploaded on the social media site were in some cases made available to view on public Web forums dedicated to exploiting Photobucket's privacy settings.
