Originally posted by woohoo View Postthat's the attitude. You don't want to make any effort to protect your members.
The site holds no personal data that could be used to scam you. The most an attacker could get would be the email address you used to register. If you use the same Email and password combination elsewhere for anything thats actually important then that's your own damn fault and no-one is going to protect you from your own stupidity.
I suppose in theory they could get hold of the members emails, spam them with emails claiming to be from CUK and trying to get them to go to a subverted or malicious site or to try and and install malware but your standard local protection (AV, Common sense) would mitigate against that in the same way it does against all the other malicious spam everyone gets and frankly the user base is just too small to make it worth the effort."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Rather than leave a forum I use I would rather say that the security should be improved. Basic stuff. I've said it before it's not a huge issue to me, surprised it just hasn't been done.
If you don't agree with my comment, feel free to never use the technical forums again in case you see one of my comments you don't agree with.Comment
