It's Not Just O2 Leaking MMS Messages
wiedzmin writes "A recently publicized issue with UK's O2 leaking private MMS to the Internet by making them available and searchable in Google has gained a lot of momentum and forced the company to promptly fix the problem. However a quick internet search shows that other mobile server providers, including those located in US and Canada, also make all MMS messages available in a similar manner. In fact, operators like Sprint and Boost Mobile will even let you see the phone number from which the picture or video was sent, download it, print it, forward it or reply to it from the same web page. Other operators like Canada's Bell, Solo Mobile, Verizon, Rogers and Quest appear to have removed or otherwise protected all MMS messages recently as all the cached search listings that show up for these providers are no longer available. There is no telling how many other operators' MMS listings can be accessed given correct search terms, but it looks like they are starting to get the idea and remove them from the web."
I feel a great disturbance in the Internet, as if millions of webmasters suddenly cried out in terror and suddenly updated their robots.txt file.
You just got troll'd!
Most users i looked at seem to send around pictures of houses and cars they are planning to buy. Or maybe the want to sell them. In any case, looks like the US economy is not THAT bad.
