Anyway, as far as the story goes, Flickr definitely should have sent an email asking for confirmation of the account's deletion.  Furthermore, this hacker, as with all hackers, should be at very least, fined severely.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KelehC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 5th 2009 9:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hacker Deletes 3,000 Photos From Man's Flickr Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why don't some of these websites that run articles like this  have someone monitering the responses so they can delete these SCUMBAGS that advertise their crappy, pathetic, loser sites??? 3 responses here and they all come from morons advertising their pathetic, desperate piece of crap sites. I see it happening more and more....freaking losers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fairey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 5th 2009 9:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hacker Deletes 3,000 Photos From Man's Flickr Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[He's a moron.  Any real photog or anyone over ten years old knows to keep and maintain a personal backup.  He has all these photos, if he did develop them, and should have not relied on a website to store his stuff.  I'm glad that yahoo and flickr do not store, because I bet if they were able to restore, then yahoo and flickr would have been accused as to what they are doing holding on to another's property, that photo rights b.s.<br><br>So I have zero pity for the moron and he's a double moron for going on ranting publicly.  He must've p-o'd someone on flickr because he thought his photos were so precious.  If he thought they were precious, the moron would have had a personal backup.  It's called a backup hard drive, sweetie student, BUY one.  Ebay has 'em for cheap if you are dirt poor.<br><br>Good riddance and hooray for yahoo and flickr for not responding to this nonsensical moron.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[practicalone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 5th 2009 10:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hacker Deletes 3,000 Photos From Man's Flickr Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[Maybe the hackers punishment would be to develop a posting bot destroyer.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Handsome]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 5th 2009 10:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hacker Deletes 3,000 Photos From Man's Flickr Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[If these photos were worth so much, why didn't he back them up to someplace besides flickr in the first place?  And if he cared so much, he shouldn't have just assume that where he is placing his work provides backup as part of its fees.  If it isn't in the terms and conditions or features list, it isn't included in the price.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Spider Loc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 5th 2009 10:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hacker Deletes 3,000 Photos From Man's Flickr Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[They guy couldn't afford some CD's or a flash drive?

Some hacker got my ebay, put up fake listings for computers. Also got into my yahoo account and changed the password. I found out when someone from another state called my house wondering where his computer was. I spoke with ebay, they were great, got it all taken care of. Yahoo on the other hand was horrible. I couldnt remember the answer to my security question and they told me they would no longer discuss the matter with me. I am unable to access that account to this day. A simple verification of my state ID would have been a good idea maybe, had they allowed me to do that in some way.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ZacsTayles]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 6th 2009 12:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hacker Deletes 3,000 Photos From Man's Flickr Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[No one on here can probably remember the world before all this hideous techy crap.  Just amazing that we're all spending so much time talking to no one about nothing.........and getting no results, just lessons.......and lessons are just what we all get when we don't get what we want............or need.  What a bankrupt society.  Glad I'm on my way out and not in.  It was much more fun when I was a kid.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Keesta]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 6th 2009 12:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hacker Deletes 3,000 Photos From Man's Flickr Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[If he spent THOUSANDS of dollars on these pix, then should have made a backup disc/discs.. End of story.  Its no ones fault but his. I am tired of ppl placing blame on everyone else except themselves... I think he is looking for an opportunity to sue them. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[metalgddess]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 6th 2009 1:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hacker Deletes 3,000 Photos From Man's Flickr Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[It would be nice if the "Report!" button actually did something. "They" should have people who go from site to site, monitoring for these annoying posts and removing them ASAP.

Then you hear of things like this. First of all, no back up? Sorry, no sympathy here, but to upload thousands of your personal photos to flickr? Why? Why are you so interested in telling the world about your personal business? Facebook for me? NO WAY. flickr for me? NO WAY. And I refuse to become a twit. People are stupid. Keep your private stuff private, why didn't he just create a website and show off his stuff? But flickr should implement more security....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GraceCFL]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 6th 2009 7:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hacker Deletes 3,000 Photos From Man's Flickr Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[I would think sites like this would only be for sharing. Implying the originals are backed up in several places. The greatest long term problem is hardware becoming obsolete rendering your backups useless. How many of you still have "floppy" backups in the closest?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tuck Steelman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 10th 2009 12:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hacker Deletes 3,000 Photos From Man's Flickr Account]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/05/hacker-deletes-thousands-of-users-flickr-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can understand his frustration because flickr purports itself to be a STORAGE solution. <br><br>The point is that you can upload huge amounts of images and they'll be stored safely at their original quality. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Blaise]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2009 5:47PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
