Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

On the subject of Phorm droids harvesting user profiles on both cableforum.co.uk and badphorm....

Could it be that they are compiling a blacklist of ISP customers that they'll then pass-on to BT/VM/TT to ensure that the most vocal amongst us are not "invited" to participate in the looming trials?

I realise that these user profiles alone are not enough to reveal our IP addresses (unless they're planning to hack cableform's servers) but perhaps once identified by forum moniker, the ISPs will use that shiny new DPI kit (illegally, of course) to find out which troublesome customers we are? Not too difficult, surely? Just add "lucevans", "Phorm" and "cableforum" to the categories list in the profiling software and, oh, there's my IP address.

...Or am I just being a bit ?
