We have the ball in our court now, we are very much in the game and we need to take advantage of this news to make sure the Commissioner knows that this is a major public issue and not just a bunch of geeks whining.

Please, if ever there was a crucial time to write a real letter, now IS that time.

Noted Alex. I will write a letter (or letters) now. Thank you for all your efforts on this - with a following wind I would have done more but work and life (what? there's a difference?) intervene as ever. I do need to write something up to get a system that will connect to "a government network", er, "accredited". First entry in the "risk register"? Step forward BT and any ISP stupid enough to do this Phorm crap

I've asked a few people I trust about this and they sort of say "BT? Jolly good chaps, we use them. Totally trustworthy. What what what". And then, as I go further... "everything is vulnerable to a man in the middle attack". Errr.... Some people need to wake up and smell the coffee I think.

Softly, softly, catchee monkee
