Gun Trader's User Database Hacked - Could This Impact On You? [Update]
![Gun Trader's User Database Hacked - Could This Impact On You? [Update]](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/559a4ab2e4b0edd30ab21386/1627562359734-O9I1L9PR18S9AVJU5ZRJ/Guntrader.png)
We have been made aware that the user database of the popular organisation for peer to peer selling of guns, Gun Trader, has been hacked and therefore information on users has been illegally acquired. It has been reported that Gun Trader has 111,000 users on its database and the information obtained by hackers includes names, addresses, telephone numbers and some GPS location data. 5,500 are reported to have come from Scotland and undoubtedly some will be STS members so we wanted to advise of the implications of this and what safety action should be taken.
