    Is this a legit webpage? Akhter is a legit company, but these links don't seem to trace back to anything still live?

    Personally I'd stay away, after a quick look here:

    hxxp://www.mod.ics.akhter.co.uk/ (hit 'Register' and you reach the OP's link)

    This site appears to be for Ministry of Defense / Governmental purposes.

    (Also note the top right logo for the DCSA - Defence Communications Services Agency)

    If you fancy pretending you work for the government, then by all means go for it! ;)

    Yep - if they've got your post code they might send a "free" cruise missile around instead, I suppose!! :D:D

    What qualifies your OH to advise on this? Just wondering who / why this is thought to be so bad?!

    he is certainly not 007 :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    it is not bad or anything suspicious, it is just not wise to mess around with the govt and i certainly don't want them to send me or my lovely neighbour a free missile, but i won't mind to be visited by a blonde bond like daniel craig or anyone lookalike, they can come around for tea any day :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Akhter (who the site belongs to) are only a computer & communications solutions company, so can't really see it being an issue :confused:
