He made a couple of posts in the other users name saying how into Scat he was... He was trying to teach the guy a lesson.

It was relatively funny and the guy learned a lesson about security I don't think he will soon forget.



Before I got my Treo, I would use public kiosks when I was attending conventions... I would always be careful to "sign out completely" when checking my email... Ineveitably I would find that someone hadn't logged out prior to me...

I would see their inbox and just shake my head... very sloppy. There could be anything in those inbox from personal stuff to proprietary business info that could be stolen... I always make sure to remind my sales people to log out properly if they are going to use those things...
