Talk Talk is in the process of telling its four million subscribers that it has fallen victim to a “sustained cyberattack”
The ISP admitted that “unfortunately” there is a “chance” that some customer data including subscribers' names, home addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, bank account info and credit card numbers have been accessed by hackers.
So basically everything's out there!0 -

And interesting that TT don't even say which data was held unencrypted.

Not all of the data was encrypted. We constantly review and update our systems to make sure they are as secure as possible. We’re working with the police and cyber security experts to understand what happened and protect as best we can against similar attacks in future.
