We haven't got any information to share. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/fraud-alert#post-173081 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:19:18 +0000 PamJH 173081@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Nitro, I am such an internet innocent. Many of us keep our internet worlds separate for whatever reasons. It's scary to know these worlds could merge without our knowing about it until it's too late. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/fraud-alert#post-173009 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 06:09:23 +0000 Nitro 173009@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>Simon Wheatley <a href="http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/fraud-alert#post-172323">said</a>:</cite><br /> That is pretty much right.

I prefer to keep worlds separate, not colliding. So if there's any thing you can do as a 'super-user' to make sure that people have first the OPTION to decide if they want to be 'linked up' or not; secondly, that you are the 'superuser' do not allow any of wordpress account information, specific to THAT site, to be drawn in under your view. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/fraud-alert#post-172323 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 09:09:01 +0000 Simon Wheatley 172323@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>Nitro <a href="http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/fraud-alert#post-172133">said</a>:</cite><br /> FWIW, I think if someone was already a member of wordpress ( have a blog there ) that there was a unilateral, global, 'under the hood' sync up that went on and the data info a person might have at wordpress was exposed here.
