BASC Security warning
BASC Security warning
The British Association for Shooting and Conservation [BASC] has put out a warning to it's members, urging them to be vigilant around their home security following a potential data breach of a website dealing in firearms, although it does not say which site that is.
They warn that this breach involves personal data which identifies home and e-mail addresses of people who are likely to be firearm and/or shotgun certificate holders. These personal detail has been listed on a hackers' website.
In view of this we would suggest that all certificate-holding members ensure that their physical security is up to date, and that they keep vigilant for any suspicious activity. We will update this when we get any further details.

They become illegal after midnight on Wednesday 14 July.
If you DO know of anyone who still has one, please tell them that they must get it to the Police ASAP or risk prosecution.
