He found private, incriminating stuff like nude pictures in the sent folders and what not and ended up blackmailing them. Worst part is, it's not like this guy's a 'leet haxorz', he's just some guy who figured out a loophole.

    Really scary stuff is that there are some retailers, I can't remember which, but I can link the article if I can dig it up again, that when you walk into their stores, their cameras see your face and manage to find your Facebook profile and find out what your interests are, and the next thing you know you're getting fliers in your mail box regarding things you are likely to buy.

    And stuff like that. Basically, it's the first signs of the very terrifying world where personal privacy entirely depends on you not using the internet with any personal information, period. If you take a picture with a smart phone, for instance, the image is stamped with the time, date, and GPS coordinates where it was taken when you post it online.
