Okay, this is SO totally bizarre and I have no idea how this happened. I recently logged into my Photobucket account (basically stores photos for you and gives them a URL that you can use on websites) and I literally found two pages full of selfies in my album of a TOTAL STRANGER. I don't see anything missing.....I just see all these selfies of this person I know I have never met. Weird, right? I just went through and deleted them. Do you think someone would hack into my Photobucket account and then smother it with selfies? It looks like a 15 year old girl. Or maybe it was some strange error on Photobucket's part? Have you ever head of anything like that? By the way - which photo storing website do YOU use? Do you have a better, free one than Photobucket? After not logging on for several months, I am noticing it runs very glitchy. Tons of advertisements slowing it down, of course.

Could be a glitch, could be they get so many photos now that they are not going to the right place. I am not sure how these big websites keep up with everything. Must have some really good algorithms.

That must be affecting privacy of each other. I wonder how this happened.

Yes. Indeed. Although Im notquite sure if photos on photobucker are public or not. I should look into that.
