Yesterday, a website called Crush007 was brought to my attention. Basically, what you do is sign up with them, then fork over the email addys of a bunch of your friends. They get an email message which purports to give them the URL of a crush hookup predictor. They fill in a form about their secret crush, plus some assorted private details about themselves, click “Submit” and… learn that all that information has just been sent to you.
Now, I don’t mind things that trick you for a harmless laugh (like, say, this color vision test), but that ‘crush’ site could potentially damage the trust of a friendship.
I guess this just reiterates something I’ve said before and will say again: don’t fling sensitive information around the internet. Eventually you will regret it.
