BNP Membership Details Leaked Online

An extensive membership list of the far-right British National Party (BNP) has been stolen and leaked online. The list contains 10,000-12,000 names, addresses, phone numbers, email adresses and additional information, and was posted on a Google blog for a short while before being taken down.


"Detailed analysis by our membership department proves conclusively that the core list dates from between 30 November and 2 December 2007," said BNP leader Nick Griffin.

The leak is almost certainly the work of an insider, and highlights the dangers of not protecting important data from prying employees.

While there are numerous technologies to do this, very few organisations implement them.
