Did a lot of dealers not go across to GTs “electronic register”? My details haven’t been updated for three addresses ago, but it’s all quite concerning. Paper and pen isn’t accessible to some 21 year old hermit in his parents spare room…
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

I seem to have dodged a bullet. I thought I had an account with them from way back. However, when I entered my email address to reset (my imagined forgotten) password it seems I actually don't. And probably won't after this.

Although to late, there is no option to delete account or remove address details.

Posted this link earlier: https://haveibeenpwned.com/ Guntrader is now shown as included.

Worth checking all your email addresses and you may be surprised about other leaks

To confirm, the full list was leaked and is available in full. no ransom, leaked the entire list of user data.

Passwords are hashed, but if the hash is broken, expect the passwords to be used in other attacks at some point forwards.

Change any passwords associated with the email address, and if possible (it should be possible) use a different password for each website you use the email address with.

The hacker has posted a sample of the data online, see screenshot if you want to see what sort of info they have let out.

This is easily searchable.

That's just splucking fendid.
Not just sold, anyone who has an account on there. I had one just for saving searches. I have never bought or sold on there. My info was in the leak.
