This link takes you to a security investigation site that found a data breach on BCO FIVE MONTHS AGO. This is the data breach that BCO, in their latest statement, denies it exists. Members, this is YOUR information that was breached. Read the report, then decide who you believe.

    BCO wants to call this breach "fiction" but when an outside data security organization posts pictures (blurred, thankfully) they retrieved from these threads (in the link Alice provided above) and from our private messages, that is a breach. This non-malevolent organization gave BCO warnings about this security issue, and BCO ignored their warnings for almost 5 months. It wasn't until we could no longer see avatars and upload images, did they try to correct. I see that avatars are back today, so let's hope BCO has now made images secure. Please read the "Glitches" thread for more information about these issues.

    A breach by any other name… is still a breach

    Now that images are back up, please be careful of what you share here. A data breach can occur again.

    I don’t have Location services on so that my pictures are not geotagged.

    Another option is to take a screenshot of a geotagged picture. Use the screenshot here to minimize the EXIF data in your images.
