So several days after reporting to Capita that they had a compromised machine on their network what do I see but the same IP address come back and start doing exactly the same thing. A search on the internet shows that other people have had this same IP address hitting them. So tell me Capita […]

I just posted this to EE’s wall on Facebook. I expect they will delete it… they are a company in complete denial. =================== Well its time to say goodbye to EE. I’d like to say I’m sad that I’m leaving but that would be a total lie. The last 2 years with you have been […]
