[edit] Employee Hacking

An employee of ntl was alleged to have attempted to hack the forum on New Years Eve 2002, and send abusive messages to their members. The hacker was traced back to Ntl offices and the company later carried out a formal internal investigation [1]. Ntl terminated the employment of the individual and apologised to the forum [2].
