File-swap: The Pandoras box of the internet?
This post was published 3 years 10 months 6 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.News of the latest “Web 2.0″ service which seems to be sweeping the net goes by the name File-Swap. This new services provides a blind-file exchange for random images, audio, or text files (up to 2MB).
As our slogan says: Give one file, get one free! File-swap.com is meant to be fun. It acts as a big black box. You put in one file and you will receive a different file in exchange which someone swaped earlier. If many users swap cool files many other users recieve cool files.
Step one: upload most embarrasing image of your friends from last nights watering hole. Step two: receive random file in exchange. Step three: open random file to discover you have just received random images of Bethany’s cats from Topeka Kansas. Agh yes, next?
All the while your innocent files are being randomly swapped across the net.

ikonQ you’re right on the money. i found nothing mentioned in the privacy policy that states files are scanned for malicious content.
I tried it and got a 1×1 px img.. I wonder what that could be?!
