This comes up occasionally on some of the forums and mailing lists I'm on: As far as I'm aware, all you can do with just a bank account number and sort code is put money in, it can't be exploited in any way. Most of the charities have been publishing bank account numbers for years, so unless there's some new exploit I'm not aware of, I wouldn't worry about it.
If you're down in the bank again though, please ask why. :)

Hi,
http://ifso.info/membership.html says:
Membership fees can be paid in person to any committee member,
or by cash transfer to our bank account in Ireland. Paper receipts are available for all in person transactions. Bank account details will be posted here Real Soon Now.
- I'm not too sure if it's a good idea to post the bank
account details on the site; I remember being advised against it some months ago by a bank ... but I don't often work on 'e-commerce' sites ?
How about:
"Please send cheques payable to 'Irish Free Software Organisation' to:"
- Do you think it's a good idea to get a Post Office Box for this and
general purposes ?
