Wonder which is worse tabloids or recruiters ?? A few Manchester based business managers on my LinkedIn say recruiters called them to pretend they are worried about them and their families.. then proceed to sell them their amazing candidates .... show must go on !!

I suppose the best way to handle it would be to get a massive dog.

Years ago, a mate of mine, who was into the early concept of the soccer casual, and had written books on the subject of football and fashion, appeared in that old Coca Cola football advert about super fans. (He's the bloke standing in his back garden with a crush barrier he bought from his 'team'). Came home from work one day to find a few journos hanging around outside his house. The Sun went with the 'COCA COLA ADVERT STAR IS KNIFE WIELDING SOCCER THUG' headline on the front pages the following day. The guy lost his job and went through weeks of hell. the retraction He ended up getting printed was about the size of a postage stamp, somewhere around the bit between the chatline adverts and the sports pages. Tabloid journos are *******.

You could have some real fun with it...if I was in his position I would be looking to get myself into a "drug fuelled orgy" headline.

Only problem with that story is some stupid employer in future would use the drugs against him.

By getting them hooked on fake stories, would push them away from the "real stuff". Then you could sue them.

Tabloid journos = bottom feeding scum

That is all....

Hutchins, 22, was propelled into the media spotlight when he activated a “kill switch” in the malicious software that wreaked havoc on organisations including the UK’s National Health Service earlier this month. He originally told the Guardian how he spotted the URL not knowing what it would do at the time, and spoke under his alias of MalwareTech because he did not want to be identified.

But within two days Hutchins, who operates out of an English coastal town, tweeted that he had woken up to discover that his picture was on the front page of a newspaper and since then has become the centre of a media storm. At first the blogger saw the funny side of having to climb over his back wall to avoid reporters camped outside his house, but now, he says, the situation has escalated to the point that he feels the British tabloids have put his life in danger.

Writing of his experiences on Twitter, he also said the press had doxxed a friend of his, which involves searching for and publishing private or identifying information about a particular individual on the internet, typically with malicious intent.
