One of those that were targeted has complained to the IPSO about it as it says in the totally unbiased Guardian who only mention once they had nothing to do with creating the IPSO because they only publish state secrets putting intelligence agents and armed forces lives at risk and would never stoop so low as to get involved with sex scandals.

Most newspapers will do anything for a story and I see nothing wrong with the Sunday Mirror testing the integrity of a few MP's. It's just a shame the MP who complained isn't doing anything to protect us against telephone/internet scammers - maybe he will now he has been a victim himself

Perhaps the bait was either:-

A/ Too old.

B/ The wrong sex.

or

C/ A combination of A & B.

For the other four?

That could be the answer...or it could just be that they were more savvy when it comes to spotting the risks.

With mobile devices, you should assume that any rude image you take can be seen by someone else if they try hard enough.

most apps especially free apps make you wave your rights away to your photos on your phone before they let you use the application you are installing.Usually says authorize access to your contacts ,libary and photos or something similar

even if you dont take dirty pictures with your phone but have them on your pc or tablet once you connect your phone it will try and sync media so you could end up accidently putting them on your phone.

not much need to hack peoples phones all you have to do is show people an AGREE button and they will press or click it and wave away their privacey

forgot to mention

if you ever wonder how your number has fallen into marketing cold callers hands especially if its a new number its most likely because your friend or friends have signed away your number in their contacts list

its no longer a matter of how carefull you are with your details your friends can give them away the second they add it to their phone especially if they have already put in a free app or any app that allows access to their details.

i bet most people dont even question why a game slashing fruit needs access to your contacts and photo libary
