Replace Weiner With Lepp And You've Got It...

I've said many times that the security measures for some of these various social networking services are pitiful.  Well, check this out:

So, let’s say [Lepp]’s posting address was [Lepp].hacked@yfrog.com. If  Lepp emailed a photo to that address from his government account, it would be posted to Twitter. If I emailed that address from my own account, any photo I sent would be posted on his stream as well. All a “hacker” needs to know is that [Lepp].Hacked@yfrog.com address.

All those addresses follow the same format: Twitterusername.[ ]@yfrog.com, and that blank space was always filled with a random word, five to six characters long, generated by Yfrog. So it wouldn’t be that hard to fill in the blanks.
According to The Daily Dot, after it reached out to Yfrog for comment, the service disabled the email-to-post option. We’ve reached out to Yfrog for comment ourselves.

Interestingly enough, if something like this really did happen in George Lepp's case, it would mean that no Blackberry thief was required to make the prank work.  Which would mean that Mr. Lepp is not probably being honest about what happened (and that he's till got his Blackberry).  You would still need a loose penis around to pull it off, but those are easy enough to find.

George Lepp Strikes Back

...seeks penis story retraction from T.O. Sun:
Whatever keeps this story in the news is OK by me.

PS.  This is the statement on his Facebook page.  No accompanying graphics, unfortunately.

Mr. Lepp's Penis

(Warning!  Graphic image below!)

You know, you get emails sometimes.  And late today I got one with this attached:

...purporting to show the penis of PCPO candidate for Niagara-on-the-Lake George Lepp.  I thought, yeah right.  Considering the proximity to this incident, which also involved twitter and yfrog, I figured that at most people might have figured out how to hack these social networking services and post naughty pictures from the accounts of political candidates.

But tonight I see this:

Alan Sakach, communications director for the Ontario Conservatives, said the photo was inadvertently taken by Lepp’s BlackBerry when it was in his front pocket. The photo was posted after someone took it from the candidate for the riding of Niagara Falls, according to Sakach.

I don't want to spend too much time on the likeliness of Mr. Lepp's account.  I would just point out that, however strange it might seem, the alternative is considerably worse.  Back in my day, the best "fun" you could have at Conservative conventions was when they buried the live chickens in sand, and everyone got drunk on rot-gut and tried to shoot their heads off.  If Mr. Lepp is not being honest here, then believe it or not the Tories have learned how to throw a better party.
