Phorm

In 2009 the AIM-listed (since delisted) spyware company Phorm created a website Stopphoulplay.com to attack Williamson and fellow campaigner Alexander Hanff. The company accused Williamson of "...waging a "serial letter writing" campaign to Phorm's potential customers and partners in attempt to discredit the company and Mr Ertugrul." [4] The site was soon taken down and later described as a "PR disaster".[5]
