I agree with what I've read Bira state in here. I also admire her standing alone in the debate. She is correct. You may have the right to view others Private Messages with a certain set publicly known privacy statement. But if a member found that the service you provided was indeed breaching their trust in you in any way, and could prove that you knowingly did so, you could very well be held liable by law for the situation. Not only you, but your hosting company and anyone else remotely connected to the situation. Let alone the fact that this hack is just damn tasteless, viewing someones private information should be something one would do under extreme situations where the admin felt that what was being posted as private messages could result in a legal matter itself. There is absolutley no reason to be viewing anothers private messages unless the above hold true.
So in my opinion this is not good advertisement for vBulletin for one. Jelsoft has taken great strides with the code to insure public safety and privacy. Let's not unhack vBulletin.
