The Register: Victoria's Secret to pay up for poor panty privacy
"Fantasies" made public
Victoria's Secret grew its business by selling underthings that were extremely revealing, but, as it turns out, they revealed too much. When they failed to respond to user complaints that some orders were insecure, allowing other customers to find out who was buying which sorts of naughty underwear, New York prosecutor Eliot Spitzer's office raided the panty purveyor, forcing it to change its ecommerce practices and pay a $50,000 fine. Victoria's Secret, for its part, denies any wrongdoing.
