    Yeh and nothing has been said what will happen when the accounts start being breached, further down the line.
    Sometimes, details are passed on to be used later.

    Could be quite fun pestering them for a change. From El Reg:

    Additional information provided by TalkTalk suggests there are three requirements before current customers will be allowed to cancel their contracts:
    • You have had money taken from your account without your consent and you have incurred a financial loss as as result.
    • The money was taken on or after the 21st October 2015.
    • You have contacted Action Fraud and obtained a Crime Reference Number.


    TalkTalk additionally is accepting no liability for other possible expenses customers may have to bear as a result of the breach.
    Here's hoping that someone finds a way to prove that TalkTalk have breached their side of the contract on that one,

    Listening to the fall out from the Talk Talk hack, and many customers are up in arms that they have lost money due to the hack.

    In transpires that they all have one thing in common, they all willingly gave their bank details to anonymous caller after being offered a refund, or put in another way they thought they were getting something for nothing. I wonder how many people would have given their details if they were just asking to check the details they held were correct? I would imagine almost none.

    Moral of the story, you can't con an honest man!

    Well played indeed.

    Bearing in mind the number of 15 year olds available to talk talk in their numerous offshore service centres there can be no excuse.

    Indeed. Police just wants to issue crime number for insurance companies to pay (or not).
