Controversy erupts around free online dating site, PlentyofFish.com, after the Web site was found to contain a serious security vulnerability. The vulnerability could have potentially exposed the personal information of some 30 million users. The security researcher who discovered the vulnerability and attempted to disclose it confidentially has found himself accused of conspiracy and criminal hacking by the dating site s founder, Markus Frind. In a follow-up statement Monday, Frind said that a hacker gained access to 345 accounts that were successfully exported from the site.
