    what a crappy site.

    I can see the details of another member called STEVEN

    i can see his full name, address, email, telephone (plus date of birth when I click on confirm button to confirm his details on the site). By the way Update button was displayed too after clicking on Confirm button.

    Where is the data protection in this company??? this is totally unsecure and will not use their website even if it has a daily draw of £1000. :rotfl:

    I also tried updating details in the address of this member by deleting some characters (just for testing purpose) and I confirm it has changed. But then changed it back as it was.

    This company should invest in securing their website FIRST OF ALL before distributing out prizes.

    They can be sued for that. not sure what exactly can be done. But they may be breaking the data protection act.

    This comp has been on the weeklies for a long time with no problems.

    I just logged on and found details for Colin D.

    Have used their 'contact' form to ask them to look into it urgently.

    Did anyone else contact them?
