Erm, that would be me

"What kind of woman would agree to having photos taken ?"

"What kind of duffus then puts those images on their hard drive in an unencrypted form ?"

No idea, but it apparently happens. Either some people view helldesk monkeys as some kind of doctor with a Hippocrates-like pledge, or they just have no clue. Probably the latter. Think of it as him thinking "the pictures are in my password-protected 'session', it's safe".

"And, ahem, can anyone point me towards a torrent of these images ?"

"For the torrent, Pirate Bay is your friend ..."
