Investigation into hacked "map" of UK gun owners

[Peckerhead]

I am looking to relocate as I live in an area that has a high percentage of Toyota's and as we all know the Taliban love a Hilux..... It's just a matter of time

@Chris F How safe is TFF?

They’ve moved onto humvees and Blackhawks now.

If they can't catch the hackers then the ones that had poor internet protection should be prosecuted, angle, maybe with those holding so called confidential and security held information?

If they can't catch the hackers...

The website releasing all this personal data is hosted in Iceland, which has very different GDPR laws ensuring "anonymity and freedom of speech".

This now means all sorts of dodgy 'organisations' are now being attracted to .is hosting, making it one step up from the dark web, but fully legal and untouchable.

I'm now on my third Hilux, have I been subconsciously radicalised??

As safe as any other on the internet, no system is infallible, you'd be surprised on how much traffic our spam filters capture on a daily basis, its the phishing emails direct to your own accounts that are a bigger risk and they are getting better at hiding the authenticity of them.

that’s awful.

the uk should block all traffic ending in .is as a result.

is this possible though?!

Pretty safe compared to most websites. We run our own private servers with our own firewalls. It’s how we can shut down country level access so quickly.

that said you own account is only as safe as your password.

Better than a double dose .is.is

That depends.

Did you tick the boxes on the options list for the heavy machine gun mount and a radio that will only tune in to Mosque FM?

Just the prayer mats and rear 12v sockets for lamping.

So there ends the issue.
Do they or anyone really want to stop anything or anyone??
Pull the plug time approaching?

Probably more likely to get access on your end than via hacking! Hope you've got 2FA and strong passwords yourselves

I'm saying nothing......

Is a factor in the decision if I wanted to live in an area, similar to being able to find crime numbers, bus routes etc. High gun ownership is not an area I would like to live.

You fairly live up to your user name

I’m gonna have to ask you to explain as I don’t understand this comment at all?

I am a member of Guntrader so presumably my details are in the hands of whoever reads the dark web.
My address wasn't on there just the county as far as I recall and no details of any guns I may have had, do have or want to have.
There isn't much anybody can do with the info and there was no map to my knowledge. There was a function to search by county for guns up for sale but that was about it.
As far as animal activists are concerned they were just as able to target gun owners beforehand by simply arranging to view the gun advertised for sale.
Th hacking wasn't good news but I think a lot more has been made of it than reality, even to the point of ambulance chasing legal firms offering to pursue compensation on your behalf.

You should have an email from them if your details were compromised.

 

[Longlowdog]

@Turnip you wouldn't be wanted or missed (figuratively or literally) in area with high gun ownership.

You're a white? British male who hunts with dogs and lives in the countryside. It's taken as read you're radicalised.
