    Thank you for the update ritchie, i am surprised at this security breach as i had met quite alot of great people working at Vodaphone, any internal problems where sorted in minutes not days, I read a few angry replies and they are justified..

    what about the The Data Protection Act..... it clearly states that a company holding personal data must protect it and provide suitable security...

    the members are " Shouting there " .. A big shame to them.. and yet they have not fixed it..
    thanks for the update Richie.. good work..

    Oopsie! Someones going to get fired. Maybe several somones, especially if I had the axe. It's one thing to have the data exposed, it's another to publish it.
