Almost Done,
Good skills at alerting us all. Unfortunately, I would assume that now all the hackers are also alerted! Not a criticism of your post at all, just an observation. What a rolling goat!

However it is now out in the open so hopefully we can get it fixed.

Sad but it seems very true.
I managed to change my initial password and since then its been pretty much "JPA says no".

JPA is vulnerable to peneitration by determined IT hackers......
Again, this all smacks of remote senior officers - the kind who come to the Gulf on visits by business class, stop in hotels and awkwardly ask "How's it going" with hands on hips, incorrectly dressed with chip bag hat and multiple badges adorning their CS95. Unfortunately the higher you get the further you also are from doing the job, which can be a blessing occasionally, up until somebody says "what do you want our computer program to do?". At this point they can hardly say "I don't know, I don't do the job" can they?
Nobody above sqn ldr should be allowed to explain how we do the job - and only selected sqn ldrs at that!

If a hacker manages to get on to my account he won't have to steal my identity to make money. I'll gladly pay him if he'll tell me how he did it. I haven't managed to get in yet and I've got a bl**dy password!

What I said about JPA Insecurity
As the title, I stated a fact, an undeniable fact, if the mods can't cope with that then please PM me as it is in the public domain. We need this issue to be addressed !!!!!
I for one will not allow my personal security to be laid open to the general public, i am not scare mongering. I have a genuine issue with this detail of the security of MY personal information.
If this is NOT the forum to get these issues rasied what hope do WE have!!!!
Yes I am annoyed! So far as to say bring it on to the Powers in charge of our pityful lives.

Almost - I had the thread TEMPORARILY removed following an apparently official request. The entire thread is still visible to me - it has NOT been destroyed.
The final decision on what happens will, as always, rest with the boss here. An outbreak of 'where has it gone' posts will NOT encourage a sympathetic view at the HQ here. Suffice it to say that I think I can see the problem you raise?
Got it? Leave it alone for a while please.

Are you speaking to me as an adult or a child
I'm sorry, but we do not have time to get into PMs about every problem thread. Like it or not you will have to wait.
Edited in after your subsequent post:
I trust you also saw

Official Request
Why doesn't the person who made the official request, take JPA off-line and sort the:-
a. Security risk it presents giving information to undesirables.
b. Security risk it presents giving information to criminals.
c. capabilities it is supposed to offer.
This is not harmless gripes, this is peoples lives being put at risk so that some Old Crusty Officer can take another pat on the back for his efforts in saving the RAF 10p. The RAF would save a damn site more if it got rid of the high proportion of senior Officers who routinely cock things like this up.

It wasn't that long ago that married quarters came with an IED inspection mirror for those 'not quite sure' moments. The current crop of potential terrorists have no doubt paid attention to what our new best mates in the IRA did previously.

BOAC,
I'm not stirring, just interested....
So you had the thread removed - you didn't simply report it to those that run this site? Am I to assume that you are the new moderator of this forum?
Also, what is an apparently official request? Surely it either comes through official channels or not.
