The Top 5 Privacy Failures - What's the most epic fail of all?

[Venustus]

Last year was a record-breaking year for data breaches, with more than 800 million records lost.
And 2014 doesn't look like it's going to turn out any better (hello, eBay).
In our increasingly data-driven world - when our very identities are mined, packaged and sold; and our every move is tracked, logged and stored (hello, NSA) - online privacy has taken a major hit.
The list of culprits in our eroding privacy is long, but some fails stand out in their epicness, if you will.
So we're calling out five privacy killers that deserve an extra level of shaming.
We want your opinion, too - take our poll at the end of the article so we can crown the biggest privacy fail of them all.

If we are talking about "privacy" here, real privacy, then the biggest fail is from Snapchat. With millions of users, and millions of them sending compromising, private (nudes), etc. snaps everyday, they have the biggest fail overall.
The rest of these "fails" are more of a "hoax" or a "fraud" (Target incident) if you ask me and wouldn't really fit in the real "privacy" definition.

Thanks venustus! This article/poll helps "snap (-chat)" us out of the false sense of anonymity and online invincibility/invisibility we so easily slip into (sometimes) simply because we feel armed to the teeth with our arsenal of super power software!
