Good morning.

I'd like the person who's causing all this trouble to pay close attention to this post. Unfortunately I am off sick today, but when I come back to work tomorrow, I am going to clean this mess up, and then I am going to take some very real action against you - not by banning you, but by taking some real action which will affect your real life. This is not a physical threat, but merely a warning - you have comprimised our site's security and gained illegal access to people's details, which is a very serious matter and you will be dealt with accordingly.

This is a warning to you - we will do everything we have to to stop you from visiting these forums in the future, and rest assured the correct cause of action will be taken. You will learn that actions taken on a computer can affect real life, and that this is way past a joke - you've caused a lot of damage on these forums already, and have caused a number of users to up and leave due to your actions. If you continue to do what you're doing then you risk us shutting down the forums completely for a while until we can make sure that user details cannot be comprimised.

To other UKchatforums.com users, I apologise for this person and I hope you will continue to enjoy the site as it was meant to be used - for fun, and a mild distraction from wors/school/life. It's a shame your enjoyment of this site has been tarnished by a few ignorant individuals and we will do everything to make sure this will not happen again.

Please note, none of this was caused by ANY Special Reserve security flaws - the reason a few accounts have been taken is because some users unfortunately released details which they shouldn't have ie. e-mail addresses and passwords. The SR accounts and secure system remain 100% secure and always will be, it's completely safe to browse and place orders as long as you don't tell anyone your user details.

Thank you
Ali

How do you know that? I can think of other people it could easily be.

Usually just removing any access they get permanently.
If you have evidence that they have done it a good few times then you could let the police investigate it and issue a fine or more serious actions are obviously dealt with more serious punishments.

I've been away on holiday for a while and not been posting too much as aint got much to say.l :-)


Not sure how easy it is for SR to ban someone permanently so perhaps their best option would be to notify the police about it.

Its Kiriyama.

depends how serious, it could be any of them.

Haven't seen AliBoy around in a bit.

What penalties can be imposed on someone for breaking the act, fines, jail or what? Do you know?

That's noy beyond the realms of possibility

If it were up to me I'd kick them in the nuts.

Shaneo.

The person is guilty under section one of the computer misuse act of 1990 as they knowingly gained unauthorised access to someones elses details. Even if it was as easy as guessing the forgotten password question on hotmail.

You shouldn't let them of lightly with this one as I'm sure most have pretty personal details on here and on the other accounts that the e-mail address was part off.
