Are Flickr Private Groups Secure?

[solva193]

I have a friend who is trying to share some private images and videos with me through a Flickr Private Group (2 members). However, soon after loading the images and videos into the Group, the view count on the images and videos begins to escalate rapidly. This first happened a week or so ago, and since then all files have been renamed and a second, new group has been set up, but tonight it happened again, in the new group! As I am the only other member, and it isn’t me repeatedly looking at the images/videos it seems that someone else has access. Is this possible? Has anyone heard that there is a way to hack into Flickr Private Groups? Is there any other explanation?

Probably should share using Dropbox. Create a dropbox account and give your friend the password and both of you can upload to it. I would also recommend that as soon as you have what he shares with you then delete the pics and videos.

What are you guys using or posting to now? I have used drop box with a buddy on OCC, but would like to get a tight group of like minded guys going.
