http://www.wyff4.com/news/27757948/detail.html I live in Georgia about 30 miles from the South Carolina border & my best news station comes out of South Carolina. In getting the link for another discussion, I ran across this news item & it made me think...dangerous...very dangerous!!! A woman in Spartanburg South Carolina had stored nude photos of herself on her cell phone. I guess she thought they were safe as they were with her & under her control!!! Only ONE problem...she lost her phone & the kind soul who found it thought it amusing to forward her nude photos to everyone in her contacts. Sadly, she wasn't expecting this to happen & she hadn't contacted her carrier to have the phone cut off when the photos were shared. Fortunately, I don't have nude photos on my cell so this shouldn't ever happen to me. However, I do have an app where if I lose my phone I can go online & trace where my phone is located...plus, I can remotely wipe ALL data stored on my phone!!! I back up my phone several times a week; so, if I do have to wipe my phone, I can restore any wiped info when I finally get my phone back!!! The app was free, but the service cost me $20 for the first year. Then I was offered a special of an additional $20 for a lifetime contract. Yes, I could lose my $40, but I'd rather lose it than have nude photos sent to ALL my friends & family!!!! Plus this app has a anti virus/anti spam feature & makes it simple to block unwanted callers & emails!!! Why would you even consider keeping nude photos of yourself on your computer or your cell???

Feel sry for that woman, I agree that we must secure all datas at our cellphone, laptop, or anything that can be dangerous if it losts, in my country, a singer of popular band had his reputation gone bad because video with his girlfriend (actress too) show on the internet, all of these mess because his laptop is missing, and someone who didn't like him posted on the internet... Now, he is in jail for something that actually not need to do... So, watch out guys for important datas that u keep on ur cellphone and laptop...
