Chema Hernández GilSomething very strange happened today. I requested my <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.sanfranciscan.org/tag/skype" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Skype</a> data, fully expecting just a few dozen calls and messages from a decade ago to my family. Instead, I received *hundreds* of screenshots of gold and <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.sanfranciscan.org/tag/bitcoin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bitcoin</a> trades, along with photos of fat stacks of $100 bills, luxury watches, gifts, and shots from inside someone’s home. Reverse searches seem to indicate at least some are generic images, but not all. In any case, they're not mine.<br><br>Someone over at <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.sanfranciscan.org/tag/microsoft" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> fucked up.
