    What amazes me is the arrogance of talk talk.
    I would not even use them as a last resort.:rotfl:

    Was with them a few years ago. I hope that I am safe and hope they communicate to me as soon as they can. How the heck am I going to remember my password for Mytalk or whatever it is called ?


    I will complain to them via the ICO. I don't understand why in this day and age companies don't have processes in place to make sure they are not liable for cyber attacks ?


    I hope they get fined loads by the ICO and they should be.


    HTHs.

    My mum had a strange call yesterday claiming to be from 'Talk Talk', she called Talk Talk who said it wasn't them and likely from the recent cyber-attack.

    It's the paid for 'alerts' service that they have stumped up for.
    Noddle alerts worth £20

    In addition, we are offering twelve months of Noddle alerts for free. With Noddle alerts, you can:
    • Get an email every time there's a significant change to your Callcredit credit report (like new credit accounts being opened)
    • Get a monthly email to reassure you if there have been no changes to your Callcredit credit report

    Not worth the money though...

    "See your full Callcredit credit report for life, not just for 30 days" NO noodle is NOT a months free trial like the other two!

    Last weekend I opted to move to a new broadband provider. I would certainly have moved to a new provider after this incident had I not already decided to do so.

    Just watched BBC News. An expert was on there a minute ago saying those who were customers of TT in the past 24 months could have had their details stolen.

    Today I changed my internet provider from TalkTalk and started the process of moving to a new current account. You still can't access Talk Talk's web site to change password.

    Why is Harding in this job, I looked at her wiki entry and she has been involved with Woolworths, Tesco and Thomas Cook, all of which companies have been in trouble (or no longer exist). I think she knows more about racehorses than commerce or internet service provision.

    Sack her now and keep her out of the board room!
