    UK "Guntrader" site- data breach

    I've put this item in here, having resisted a post under the Offtopic umbrella

    Apparently the home addresses and private phone numbers of members have been hacked.

    From a news report: "..According to Haveibeenpwnd.com, however, the information available on the dark web is extensive. It includes names, phone numbers, geolocation data, IP addresses and various physical address details. .."

    I'm sure that would improve the sleep of gun owners.

    Something for us to look forward too. I still think endorsed people have more to fear.

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    Technically it wasn't a breach. It was poorly built database that allowed anybody to browse it's contents.
