The title is really misleading, I just want you guys in here to read and comment, Figured i'd take the sensationalist's route.
How many of you people use facebook?
Recently, my friend Ron write a small script that harvests people's Names and links to there profiles.
You can read his full blog post
here and his followup
here.
In all he posted about 170
million names.
He has been posted about on quite a few news sites over the last month.
BBC,
PCWorld,
NoNoos, the most recent of which I found was
KB9. They portray him as some evil minical hacker who is stealing all your personal information, SSN's, Home Addresses, Phone Numbers, etc.. Which he is not.
Another recent article is the fact that he made
14Million Real World Passwords publicly available.
So, what is your take on this? What do YOU think about it? Ron, friend or foe?
