    Activation codes sent to mobiles

    bnp member list released on internet

    Has anyone managed to get a copy of this? What do you think - should we be worried? Should they be worried? One clever dude made a google map of the addresses, although after complaints he turned it into a heat map which is much less specific. http://spod.cx/bnp_members_list.shtml
