On September 8, 2006, several sites [8]
reported that Craigslist's "Casual Encounters" forums in several cities
had been compromised by individuals posting fraudulent ads in order to
obtain personal information about people. This information, including
email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, photos, etc. was
publicly posted online.
In April 2007, a Tacoma, Washington, housing unit was gutted and
vandalized after an anonymous Craigslist ad asked people to "Come and
take what you want. Everything is free. Please help yourself to anything
on the property.”
As of October, 2005,
Craigslist
had
established itself in approximately 150 cities in the U.S., Canada,
U.K., Ireland, continental Europe, Australia, South Africa, Asia,
Israel, and Brazil.
