Story dugg as requested.
btw. First thing I spotted in the report was this:
Quote:
Normally the PageSense system deploys cookies directly to user's machines. BT's broadband terms and conditions prevented this approach. Instead 121Media conducted an initial cookie drop exercise. For two-weeks prior to the trial proper 121Media purchased advertising space on popular third-party websites from which cookies were dropped directly onto users machines.

They did this to get around legal T&Cs?
Is it just me, or does that just stink?

Page 14: During the trial three users posted their observations of this effect. In each case the reaction was negative, the user suspecting a virus, malware, or spyware of some kind. This artefact is eliminated by the new version of pagesense, "ProxySense".
Disgusted.

Also Diggers, make sure you digg the comments. With the protest Digg entry we had a number of people digging comments down. I'm guessing the Phorm PR team, so lets beat them at this as well.

Too late 121Media(Phorm) your criminal malware credentials are assured!
Even another name change won't shake your malicious malware intentions or actions off.
(can we all say P E R C E P T I O N )
Laughs Out Loud I assume when you write "public relations" you were referring to the disastrous mess your PhormPR monkey team made a right pigs ear of?
