Police investigate angry eBayer’s revenge site: Police are investigating a disgruntled eBayer who took online revenge after finding a laptop he paid £375 which, he said, did not work. The buyer recovered the hard drive from the malfunctioning notebook, finding it full of personal details, allegedly including access to email accounts, 90 voyeuristic leg shots taken on the London Underground and gay porn. He posted the material on a website, naming and shaming Barnet 19-year-old Amir Tofangsazan as the seller.

I had to laugh: I might be selling an older notebook on eBay very soon! I planned to simply restore the HDD with the included original discs but now I think I’ll wipe the drive first and then restore it… for work items. Honest. I don’t have crap like this on my notebook – I’ve never been to London!

Besides, I guess no matter how strange or twisted my own recent life has become, it’s still much, much better than this poor dumb bastard’s recent weeks…
