ICO chides TalkTalk over sneaky StalkStalk trials

Some URLs are identifiable

As the Stalker does not access the sites instantly, perhaps the ICO might like to ask Stalkstalk, where they store the information collected from the Stalkstalk’s customers and as those URLs contain information identifiable to an individual, how do they justify that data processing without permission.

Also perhaps the ICO could get Stalkstalk to explain how I can identify the Stalkstalk customer the URL was used by, from some of the URLs. The URLs contain information specific-to-specific users of my site.

TalkTalk turns StalkStalk to build malware blocker

They download the entire shebang

They download the entire shebang as my logs have shown. My websites have something of the order of a 100 plus accesses a day from them even though they are blocked and Charles Dunstone has been told by email, replied to, not to access my site. Yesterday it was 130 accesses/attempted accesses.

Talktalk have been told that all accesses/attempted accesses after 09:00 on the 26/7/10 will be charge at £10 per accesses/attempted accesses.

If all webmasters charged them they would soon stop

Stalkstalk seems to have changed IP

It appears that there has been a change in the IPs being used by the TT stalker. It now appears to be using Huawei IPs.

The one captured at the moment is 195.33.106.4 about 70 accesses here yesterday.

And the complete range is 195.33.106.0 - 195.33.106.255

I would suggest people block the complete range.
