As the Heartbleed virus sparks privacy panic, some chatroom-users have more cause for fear than most. “The worst-case scenario is that the data of every Mumsnet-user account was accessed,” warns a statement from the parenting chatroom. This may be chilling news to users such as “Sara Crewe”, whose posting about her husband’s unusual approach to post-coital cleansing went viral last year. Crewe’s real identity hasn’t been made public... yet.
The so-called “beaker-mum” is far from alone. Who can forget the woman who took to the forum to discuss her husband’s request for less than vanilla sex at a family holiday camp? Or the mum whose sexual fantasy involves getting roasted by Gordon Ramsay in full temper-tantrum mode? Perhaps, if identified, these contributors will form their own support group. With tip-top security, of course.
