Guardian Soulmates users spammed with smut following breach

Re: Why?

They were probably unpaid interns, like everyone else on The Grauniad, except for a handful of enormously overpaid 'columnists'.

Re: Why?

Having had the experience of working with The Guardian developers - they believe in a highly agile, very public and highly iterative style of development. There is no test environment, they release straight to live on live data. The theory being that they can roll back an update equally quickly if it turns out to be bad.

Unfortunately you can't roll back data leaks quickly.

They are also highly arrogant and don't like this fallacy being pointed out to them.

Re: haven't sent any smut my way

That's a shame. It's so hard to find smut on the Internet I find.

Once, years ago, I was given a floppy disk with a kind of smut mixtape on it. That was weird.

Re: you can't put that genie back in the bottle.

Of course you can.

All you have to do is kill everybody in the whole world, as per The Wisewoman of Putney.

Re: They are rubbish

You know that every time the Guardian or Scott Trust is proved wrong, the Tories win?

DO YOU WANT THE TORIES TO WIN.

Re: They are rubbish

And, hours after it was reported by the BBC (nothing in the Grauniad), still no notification on their site.

They have a story on their site now. It's currently on their front page, but semi hidden in the "from the UK" section.
