Wiedzmin writes "A newly publicized issue with UK's O2 leaking private MMS to the tip superhighway by making them utilizable and searchable in Google has gained a lot of impulse and forced the company to hastily fix the problem. However a quick word* highway search shows that other mobile server providers, including those located in US and Canada, also make all MMS messages disposable in a similar manner. In fact, operators like Sprint and Boost Mobile will even let you see the phone number from which the picture or video was sent, boot up it, print it, forward it or reply to it from the same web page. Other operators like Canada's Bell, Solo Mobile, Verizon, Rogers and Quest appear to have removed or diversely protected all MMS messages of late as all the cached search listings that show up for these providers are no longer available. There is no telling how many other operators' MMS listings can be accessed given correct search terms, but it looks like they are open gate to get the idea and remove them from the web."
