Talk Talk Cyber Attack.

still no emails OFFICIALLY stating problems , still no access to online accounts to change passwords , 50hrs since the website was closed , how the hell are you supposed to go to your account and change your password?

what does it matter, if you can't access your account, neither can they ... or can they , Even then, what are they gonna do, change your direct debit and get someone else to pay the bill?

The passwords that may need changing are elsewhere, if you happen to use the same password on a financial site, which as everyone should know, is not the smartest idea, most if not all banking sites have extra layers of authentication before any clearing out of bank accounts can occur

4m emails ... be patient, the content is not secret, or particularly informative, it's on their website

Not necessarily cause and effect though.

I'm under the impression that our data isn't encrypted, and their website is encouraging us to check our "credit reports", whilst in the media one hears them say "customers will be provided with free credit monitoring for a year".

so after 12 mths everything is OK ?


they will probably give everyone access to "noodle" , yup its a free one , (which incidentally does not include talk talk)

They have said in an email to me "Change the password for your TalkTalk account and any other accounts that use the same password." yet one cannot login.

While thieves create a diversion at the front door, they slip in through the back door and happily walk off with your TV.

Quite astounding given previous breaches that they haven't yet learned to encrypt their database.

A very large fine from the ICO should be forthcoming.

Which us customers will end up paying again

Also, they're "only looking into the 1 year's free credit monitoring": at the moment, they're recommending contacting CallCredit, Experian and Equifax in the meantime...

so that's 3x £12 or £15 they will be paying us to do our own detective work?
