Imgur Account Info Hacked

odd, I just upload stuff there without an account and use the link it gave me...

 

Sites that resell customer data or identify sites that have been hacked, I've seen a handful over the years. Another bonus of this approach is you can nuke an address if it starts getting spam, this method means you don't need to use anti spam filters that can be overzealous at times. I haven't seen any spam on my imgur address so it's not being used for that at least though the alternative is worse.
