TalkTalk BrightFeed

This is almost a scoop!

TalkTalk are to launch " our unique security service, with Parental Controls and Virus Alerts, that works to help keep your whole home safer online"

No word yet on the launch date, but many will know of this new product (if not the BrightFeed name) from the problems TalkTalk had with the Information Commissioners Office a few months ago! Apparently, TalkTalk were tracking their customers' web movements in order to build their knowledge database.

Let's hope it is a worthy product and will actually be free when launched (as previously claimed).

    They have no expertise in the security field and will probably buy in an existing brand .

    Follow the advise on security given by regular contributors on this site.
    I suspect Talk Talk know as much about internet security as they do about customer service.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
