Duh... Yes! Phah!

No surprise all this hit the main general news headlines.

All quickly fixed but only by those sharp enough and interested enough
to quickly update.


And as for a backup to the impossibility of maintaining 'complete
security'... Perhaps our outdated laws should focus on *how* data is
*used* to try to clamp down on abuse of personal details... For example,
similar to how 'blacklisting' people is supposedly illegal...

But then again, there is already a big expensive industry keeping lists
on all of us that is able to fund some expensive lobbying...

Once your data is "out in the wild", it is out there never to be
forgotten...


Cheers,
Martin
