Connectivity's own CEO admitted on the BBC's Working Lunch 14/7 that this data was made live on the Internet without proper testing. How can the public feel assured that proper security measures have been taken to prevent any hacking into the 118 800 servers, which contain thousands of confidential records from people who don't want to be on their database?

Go to 192.com, thats the yellow pages to you and me and type in your name and town and they will tell all and sundry your name, address, who you're living with, your neighbors, any company director info on you etc. I'd much rather shut down 192 than 118800. the 118 people only send me a message saying that someone is calling, they don't actually give out my details. Over at 192 they give enough information to help someone steal your ID.... THEY EVEN LIST YOUR MOTHERS MAIDEN NAME! How many of us use that for a security question!?

What the hell is our government doing to stop this from happening? I am sick and tired of the country and the way that we have become such pussies that we pretty much allow anyone to do what the hell they like! Apart from speeding of course. Even the utilities companies now treat you with a 'you have no choice' attitude, solicitors, utilities, insurance companies, banks, they are all legal criminals in my eyes, they can treat you like dirt yet government policies make it so we HAVE to use them. I have had enough of this now and I am going to go to stupid extremes to start making life difficult for these people. Why don't we as a country start to DEMAND better treatment, I am sick of being pushed around! This 118 800 mobile farce! What the hell is our government doing to stop this from happening?
