They also have a guide on what a good practice should be:

Let's hope TalkTalk read it.

The video clip in this article is worth listening to.

The indispensable man or woman passes from the scene, and what happens next is more or less the same thing as was happening before.

It's incredible the amount of coverage this hack is receiving. Shows the scale of the damage and the seriousness of the issue. Not sure TalkTalk would be able to recover from the hack and the blanket coverage of it.

Probably more easily than VW from their screw-up.

Maybe old news for customers of other ISPs but not for the TalkTalk ones.

What would you do if you were a TalkTalk customer knowing that your ISP has been hacked three times in the last eight months and the potential scale of the latest breach? I know what I would do.

People think changing ISP is a hassle even though its not. Bet alot just stay with them rather than bothering to look elsewhere

True. The big mistake from my point of view is that TalkTalk waited till Friday to speak about it. It's going to be all over tomorrow's newspapers allowing people to have plenty of time on weekend to digest the news.

Somehow this hack feels much more publicised than any other ones I can remember. I might be wrong though.
