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 can Not prosecute them
they are to big


also small print in the contract covers her


Other Criminals Hackers
jump onto this to trick the older folks

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 )

of course you can

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.

Oh great... mind you if a hacker could find any money in my acc they can have it! :laugh:

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

Sure if you sold
your House
maybe some funds to cover a legal bill.

Josy
they will say there are ready. (Every big company has a Security Internet Team)
But this Criminal Hacker got in.

The Women in Charge
would cry if Ann Robinson had her on watchdog

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.

could not confirm it was encrypted????????

'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.

ITV1HD News confirms they have been told they have a ransom


I would advise them to pay it
as a one off only deal.

Yeah I totally hate it when that happens... :hehe:

I wish i had that problem.I don't think i've ever had a time in my life when i've actually had 'too much' money in an account:laugh:

Aye well, we are heading for a very early retirement by the look of it so have been living rather frugally for a while. Plus hubby has worked some silly hours overtime.
Plus when the mortgage finished we didn't bother putting the extra money anywhere.....as I say, lazy beggars.:blush:

Yeah...£50 would be far too much for those hacking swines to steal from my hardworking soon to be unemployed hubby.:laugh:

Who are people more paranoid about... Russians? Jihadists?

Let's say it was Russian Jihadists!! .... Brilliant.

They are saying it may be Isis who are demanding Money transfer Ransom



They better pay the ransom
or lose all their 4million customers

Well I'm off anyway my broadband is pants.

if they pay it - this will be the start of everything .. I say no. make talk talk compensate everyone and if they go bust - there tough luck.
