Apparently the Yahoo owned web site Flickr.com had some problems last month when its servers got overloaded and cached images from some accounts were wrongly appearing in other accounts. You can read about the problem here. The results apparently included some illicit images showing up on some peoples screens who were trying to look at their own legitimate pictures.

One user rightly saw how ridiculous this scenario could be and commented on it here. Just imagine if a Flickr server gets too much traffic and all of a sudden porn is sent out to grandmas flickr account or a kids screen in school.

Pretty bad stuff, Yahoo...
