Not giving out all the Details
thus making sure no one can leave their contract with Talk Talk.
i want these companies prosecuted. They promise to keep our details safe, then when something happens, they are never held accountable. Its a joke and favours the company over the consumer.

you beat me to it arista - here is my 10 cents.
this is a poetry attack not a cyber attack so TALK TALK 23.10.15
listen to me carefully
deadly serious is on this page
don't let any caller bully
you must not reveal even if they simmer and rage.
there is a risk that's lethal
your account is in jeopardy
the perpetrators are not lawful
they will scar you like leprosy.
please check your bank account
do you see anything suspect
is missing one lump amount
i am going to help you correct.
reply to me with full name and address
have faith in my poetry solution
now let me withdraw with your bless
because to get all your money back is my conclusion.
if enough people respond
i will never have to riddle
out of this god forsaken life i can abscond
success will be due to this final riddle.
from my platform i will preach
but it takes time to highgate village walk walk
from the best phone box my advice is in reach
be very suspicious if you use TALK TALK.
( my advice - do not be like me and put all your personal info online and deffo do not advertise it from a phone box - you get all sorts in them. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34611857 )

These companies have a duty to ensure customers details and privacy are fully secured at all times, it's a scary thought that an actual internet service provider that has millions of service users doesn't have a secure enough website to keep a hacker out, and a Ddos would not cause user information to be stolen unless that was used a decoy, something that a big organisation like Talk Talk should be prepared for IMO.

i agree, if they have been hacked its because their security is not up to scratch, and if that is the case, they should be held accountable

No one is secure enough to keep the big hacker groups out is sort of the thing... the "big name" hackers are, quite simply, better at this **** than the people who are employed to stop them.

'Russia-based Islamic jihadists' claim responsibility for hack
A hack on the TalkTalk website affecting up to four million customers may have been carried out by Islamic extremists, a former Scotland Yard cybercrime detective has claimed.
Messages posted online last night by someone claiming to represent “the TalkTalk hackers” said the cyberattack was carried out by a Russia-based jihadist group, and warned of more to come.
The message was posted to the Pastebin and claimed to include a sample of customers’ personal details, including email addresses and records of transactions.
It first emerged shortly after midnight, at least two hours after news of the TalkTalk hack first broke – prompting some to express scepticism about the unverified claims.
But speaking to the BBC’s Today programme, ex-Metropolitan Police cybercrime expert Adrian Culley said the attack had become an issue of “national security”.
He said: “Very late last night a hacking group posted some information on to Pastebin claiming responsibility for this attack, claiming to be an Islamic jihadi group from Russia.
“They make some unpleasant statements which I won’t repeat on the Today programme, and it appears at face value to be related to Islamic cyberterrorism.
“TalkTalk has millions of customers but it is also part of the country’s critical national infrastructure, this is a matter of national security.”
Others have expressed doubts about the “jihadist” claim of responsibility. The details included in the Pastebin message, including how the attack was carried out, are far from comprehensive.
Also speaking on Today, cyber-security expert Professor Peter Sommer said terror claims had become “par for the course” in the wake of such hacks. He said an attempt to extort money from the company or access customers’ bank account details were more likely explanations.
Dido Harding, the company’s chief executive, has apologised to customers who may have had personal data including bank details stolen in the “significant and sustained” attack.
She said customers were being urged to keep a close eye on all their accounts and report any irregularities immediately.
Ms Harding didn’t say who was behind the attack. Defending the company’s decision to reveal the security breach on Thursday night – despite it taking place on Wednesday morning – she said: “I can't even tell you today exactly how many customers have been affected. We have tried to come public as fast as we can once we have got a reasonable idea of what potential data has been lost.”
It is the third hack on the TalkTalk website since February, but Ms Harding said the three incidents were “completely unrelated”.t

The swines.
Poor hubby had to hot foot it to the bank as soon as he was up this morning.
We are a bit lazy with our bank accounts and money so there was far too much in our current account.
Thankfully someone had cancelled an appointment and he managed to see someone about transfers etc.
In a way they have done us a favour as we have been meaning to sort it out for well over a year now, and with redundancy on the horizon we needed that kick up the backside.
So much for modern day technology.

'A 15-year-old boy has been arrested in Northern Ireland in connection with a cyber-attack on TalkTalk, the Metropolitan police said.
The boy was arrested in County Antrim at about 4.20pm on Monday by officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), working with detectives from the Metropolitan police’s cyber crime unit (MPCCU).
The 15-year-old was arrested on suspicion of offences under the Computer Misuse Act, the police said. He has been taken into custody at a County Antrim police station where he will later be interviewed.'

Correct - he'll probably have a very good career as a White Hat hacker.
(For those who don't know, this is a hacker who is paid to hack mservers and secure systems by the companies themselves - and then tell them what information or control they were able to get and how they did it.)
That's if it's handled right. If he's prosecuted, he'll probably be snapped up by a hacker group as soon as he's an adult and taught how to cover his tracks better :shrug:

'A schoolboy arrested following the TalkTalk cyber attack is suing three national newspapers for alleged breach of privacy, according to an RTE report, also carried in the Irish Independent.
Lawyers for the 15-year-old claim that his privacy was compromised by articles in the Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail and the Sun. Similar claims were made against Google and Twitter.
Some details of the case can be disclosed because reporting restrictions were partially lifted by a judge at the high court in Belfast on Friday. Pending its outcome, all three newspapers gave undertakings aimed at protecting the boy’s identity.'
