for good measure, did anyone get some wireshark captures, as a baseline ,before, during, and after this maintenance?
http://www.wireshark.org/

what shows up on those redirects there btw , im not good with WS diagnostics but it seems (web)wise to use/collect them for several sessions, non the less, for any that do fully understand the wire....later.

perhaps even put them up onthe http://wiki.wireshark.org/SampleCaptures
wiki for others to look at and point for comments here.

And when you go to the Contact Us page there,
http://www.webwise.bt.com/webwise/contact.php
they ask for your BT phone account number, as well as your email address and phone number - most of which they say is "required" - and remember this is going to a NON BT site.

You really couldn't make this up - no one would believe you.

The really good bit was when FASTHOSTS had a major server glitch a few weeks ago. And BT Webwise pages went down with it. Sort of gave the game away.

I've sent off an email to BT again to ask about this FASTHOSTS/THEPLANETCOM stuff, to try and find out which bits of the pretty Webwise diagram are where. I doubt they will want to tell me.
more to the point, it's going outside the UK after giving the impression that its on and in the official internal UK BT network.

and remember they said it would stay there inside that internal BT network and never leave, more criminal lies......?

any data going/being exported outside the Uk, is NOT FULLY covered by the data protection act or the UK LAW, but mearly a contract, IF YOUR LUCKY, that BT have put in place to somewhat protect your personal data rights......

and suprise, suprise, it's not going to an EU country ,so the EU DP does not apply directly eather, but it is going to the US were the US Govt just love to peak and pop your data into their little database right alongside the Uk CCTV footage perhaps...

SERIOUSLY YOU BT customers CANT LET THAT GO BY almost UNNOTICED OR UNREPORTED......(other than here).

this BT exporting your data outside the UK in such a cavaler mannor (and perhaps criminal, given they give the impression they NEED this information and dont tell you its not and official BT run server or its going outside the internal BT network, never mind the Uk).

its a classic Phishing attack infact, report it NOW, but to who ? ,
BT that facilitate this attack, or Phorm that perpetrate the crime, not likely...
