Have you ever uploaded a nudie shot to Photobucket — one of the web’s largest, and oldest, image-hosting sites? If you did, you probably kept it private, right? So only its intended recipient could see it, and it wouldn’t get found and spread all over the internet?

Yeah, there’s a good chance some 8,000 creeps have seen your naked photo on Reddit.

Yesterday, inspired by the “hackers” who were able to access Wired writer Mat Honan’s online accounts and fully wipe his MacBook, BuzzFeed’s Katie Notopoulos took a look at “fusking,” the not-actually-hacking technique of finding private—and often nude—pictures on Photobucket by exploiting its privacy settings:

[I]f I put photos in a private or password-protected album, I can still send a direct link to an individual photo to my friend, and she won’t need a password to view that photo. If she wants, she can pass along that link to any of her other friends and they can also view over the Photobucket site, no problem, regardless of how I set the privacy level on the album. […] Problem is, the URLs Photobucket uses for these pictures use the photos’ actual file names, and file names aren’t that hard to guess. […] That’s where “fusking” programs come – you just enter the username and album name, and the fusking program will run through likely guesses and pull up any images it can find.

Notopoulos mentions having seen evidence of fusking on 4chan and other message boards where people discussed “hacking” or “stealing” finding Photobucket images. But you don’t even need to go as deep as 4chan: there’s a whole section on Reddit, with nearly 8,000 subscribers, dedicated to fusking — and another for people to make requests .

“r/photobucketplunder,” (NSFW) as the subreddit is known, stands in the long and proud tradition of creepy and popular Reddit subsections like “r/jailbait” (which was finally taken down , over loud objections of “free speech,” when it came out that child porn had appeared on the subreddit) and “ creepshots .” Every day, its most dedicated users (it has 7,808 subscribers, though readership is likely higher) post new albums of nude and otherwise sexual photographs found on women’s Photobucket accounts, re-uploading the photos to image-hosting site Imgur in case the women figure out what happened and take theirs down. Many of the accounts are discovered by people trawling Photobucket for cute girls; others are posted in r/requestaplunder , a subreddit where anyone can ask r/photobucketplunder’s fuskers to work their magic.

Mecesh, one of the subreddit’s moderators, says he’d take down the photos immediately if someone complained (“We don’t want to be malicious. Most people here like the voyeuristic nature of it,” he told me over email). But no one ever has. The rules — posted on the page’s sidebar — warn users against alerting the photographs’ subjects that they’ve become unwitting pinup models for a few thousand Redditors: “Do not follow the usernames of the girls submitted to this subreddit. When you follow them it sends an e-mail to them notifying them they’re being followed. This usually either makes them cancel their photobucket or make the album private which in turn makes it so we no longer get any pictures from them.”

While making albums private doesn’t prevent all fuskers, it does mean that your shots won’t show up on Reddit. r/photobucketplunder doesn’t allow its users to post photos from albums set to “private” — only the albums of women who don’t realize or understand that anything they put on Photobucket is visible to anyone. This helps Mecesh (and, one imagines, other users) rationalize the whole endeavor: “We only allow submissions that are publicly accessible. We don’t allow or encourage the hacking of private accounts. Everything posted here is available for public view, just not all of the women may realize that. If someone doesn’t know by now that if they upload naked pictures to the internet that they are there forever does that make it wrong?”

Well, yes: setting up a forum to find, trade, and save on new servers private photographs that were mistakenly made public is wrong, even if it isn’t illegal. “Don’t share or steal people’s private things” may be anathema to the internet, but it asks people to be decent, rather than paranoid. “Don’t put private things in public places,” as a moral imperative, blames victims and excuses the behavior of thieves and creeps.

But it is good practical advice. “You would be amazed at some of the information we come across here,” mecesh writes. “We have found accounts where people have uploaded pics of personal checks, drivers licenses, credit cards, social security cards. It is unreal.” I asked him what he thought people should do to prevent their photos from showing up on r/photobucket plunder. “If you care about your info getting out there, make your account private,” he said, but acknowledged that not even that is foolproof. “To protect photos and info the number one suggested is don’t upload them to the internet.”

After learning that Maroney may be underage in her leaked photos, Reddit moderators were freaking out.
The moderators of a subreddit called The Fappening, where many of the celebrities' leaked photos have been posted, published a warning to its users on Tuesday afternoon.
The mods say that all pictures of gymnast McKayla Maroney will be deleted because they could potentially be classified as child pornography. The Reddit post was originally spotted by BuzzFeed .
Here's the full warning from Reddit:
The reddit.com site admins have let us know that McKayla Maroney was underage in the photos as well and that we need to remove them. If we don't remove them, then this subreddit will most likely be banned (very quickly).
Liz Lee was not part of the leaks, but people have been posting her images anyways. Liz's pictures were taken in 2007 when she was 16 years old by an ex of hers. He is a current sex offender because he posted them to 4chan. We have been instructed by the reddit admins to remove these images as well.
If you are skeptical in any way, just remember that it is better to be safe than sorry.
Due to this, we will be removing any and all things that contain their images. It is considered CP (Child Pornography), and breaks reddit's site-wide rules (in addition to international law, age of consent is completely different than child pornography ), and will get this subreddit banned if we were to allow them to be posted.
On another note: please use other hosting sites besides imgur.com. We have a large list of whitelisted domains listed here that you should be uploading to besides imgur. Do not put all of your eggs in one basket.
That is all for now, stay tuned for further updates.
Pictures circulating on the subreddit of MTV star Liz Lee were allegedly taken when she was 16, reports BuzzFeed. Lee's photos were not among those leaked this weekend.
The nude photo leak has affected celebrities across the board — from models like Kate Upton to actresses like Jennifer Lawrence.

THE inside of the Dubai apartment that hosted a photoshoot featuring 40 nude models has been revealed.
The women, who are mainly from Ukraine, are facing up to six months' jail after being arrested when the footage of the shoot went viral.

Dubai police said they arrested a “group of people who appeared in an indecent video” on charges of public debauchery.
Videos and photographs showing the naked women, lined up on a balcony while being filmed, began circulating on social media on Saturday evening.
Pictures have now emerged showing the models lined up inside the apartment, in the city's upmarket Marina neighbourhood.
They are also seen from inside posing on the balcony in full view of the city.
As well as jail, those involved face fine of around £1,000 for violating public decency laws in the United Arab Emirates.
All of the models are understood to be from the ex-Soviet Union including Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova.
There has been speculation that the women were involved in a shoot for an Israeli version of an unidentified US adult website.
A Russian man has also been detained and named as the organiser of the “lewd” shoot.
He is understood to claim he was in a nearby apartment and had filmed the spectacle showing the naked women.
TASS news agency later cited the Russian consul in Dubai as saying that a Russian man was being held in connection with the incident.
But a consulate source told Russian media outlet LIFE that no Russian women had been detained.
It cited a consulate source as saying: "According to the latest data received from the police of the Emirates, there are no Russian women among the detained.
“A Russian man was detained. According to the police, they suspect him of being one of those who sponsored the entire event."
State-linked newspaper The National reported it appeared to be a publicity stunt, without elaborating.
It came as a shock in the UAE where tamer behaviour, like kissing in public or drinking alcohol without a license, has landed people in jail.
Dubai police said those arrested over the indecent video have been referred to public prosecutors.
The UAE's public decency laws, which cover nudity and other 'lewd behaviour', carry penalties of up to six months in prison and a 5,000 dirham (£983) fine.
The sharing of pornographic material is also punishable with prison time and a fine of up to 500,000 dirhams un
