Millions of SMS messages exposed on the internet

Is this a surprise ???
Anyone that truly trust confidentiality in this tech driven world is just blindly staggering around like lost sheep. Just my opinion.

 

@SB21 and me are in totally agreement here...

I really don't get it. Snowden threw away his life to let people know that their own government was and continues to spy on their personal communications and the Constitution be damn yet...sometimes it's like either they don't believe, don't care or they didn't get the memo. Is it any wonder that some company, sniffing a chance to make a few bucks, would do the same and worse - put it on the internet to let anyone peruse it? I don't think so...

"Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice..."

My point is not to be so naïve to think that governments or companies will protect your health, your livelihood or your physical well being. It's up to you to protect yourself first and foremost and if others, to include governments/companies, do something then consider it a bonus, an extra layer of protection...but don't count on it.

Now, having had my rant...What fool would Text anything that would/could compromise themselves?

I don't know...maybe I am getting too paranoid in my old age but...this doesn't surprise me at all...actually, I expected it and still do.

 

Any communication that traverses someone else's ownership may as well be thrown up in Times Square: once you surrender possession it's no longer yours. Period.
As the old saw goes: "Three people can keep a secret, if two of them are dead."

 

So, now than more than just the Fed's have them...

 

I hope they got mine they are an instant cure for insomnia

 

I think you just proved my point! Emphasis on 'fool'! LOL!
