security breached by NaughtyRobot

[Earl Young]

     Their site is good looking, and has a lot of interesting features on 
     it.  It is the sort of thing that the FTC - because they suggest that 
     you cancel credit cards and such - finds of interest.
     
     The ability to identify email addresses and such is old news.  
     Everything you send can be tracked from anywhere to anywhere, but that 
     does not constitute getting into a machine and identifying data that 
     is on the hard disk.

hoax nevertheless.
