I am however not sure about the personal information given to a Forum to register is covered under the Act.
Oh it was not accidental and definitely malicious.

I assume like other matters if it can be proved, then there must be a case if the evidence can be produced. Like many things nowadays we have to be very careful what we put in writing and that includes information or private information that may be published on an open forum which is available for all members of the public to access.
I'm still trying to work out how, exactly, someone would or even could post anything on a forum "accidentally".
"Sorry sir, I tripped over a stray cable and hit my keyboard which must have opened the topic, hit "post reply", entered all that text and clicked "submit" all in the correct sequence.
Can't say why my browser window was open and logged into that forum at all..."
Difficult one that.

Des. . .
