Looking For Love; Finding Privacy Violations

itwbennett writes "When you sign up for online dating, there's a certain amount of information you expect to give up, like whether or not your weight is proportional to your height. But you probably don't expect that your profile will remain online long after you stop subscribing to the service. In some cases your photo can be found even after being deleted from the index, according to the electronic frontier foundation (EFF), which identified six major security weaknesses in online dating sites."

I'm too short for my weight.

Re:Deleted is a relative term

I wonder how many future presidents and company CEO's etc will literally be caught with their pants down in the years to come.

It's not very often friendless people get to act smug.

Lies I tell you .. all lies

[OzPeter]

My online dating profiles of course. You see by posting profiles that are completely full of lies I have totally side stepped the security issue! There is no way that anyone can trace my profiles back to a real person.

So nyah nyah nyah to all you suckers how put your real photos and descriptions out there in public - you'll never know who has your information now, while I'm free of any worries at all.

(But please don't remind me that I am posting on /. on a Saturday night)
