Now I get more and more spam from badoo.com, quite refined, it impersonates the other person perfectly with a spam-like invite, contains a hash to identify me when I click the "reply to invite link" - and then know my mailbox is real... I did not go any further as far as badoo is concerned. Please remember the basic security rules on the web, would you give your id to some random person "for a photocopy"? Well, that's what badoo and facebook customers are asked to do. And apparently, many of my acquaintances do that with joy : it's called a live ID (for Windows live), previously .Net passport, trust me, there is a reason. (and then, there are other solid reasons to avoid so called social networking sites, see : http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000898.html But the above two? They make business by trying to own you, plain and simple) [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/6553]argo navis[/url] on 07-09-2007 16:12)[/small] Loading...
