No proof that was due to this hack though. Peole putting 2 and 2 together

Considering it takes a few days for payments to show up online its unlikely to be due to this hack

The attack started Wednesday ..... TT customers check their accounts today and money is gone.

Hardly a coincidence.

I had my account emptied after using my card at a UK company, crooked staff copying the details and invoices with address etc.

They were draining my account within hours of the purchase .

Ha, and the latest is that they have now received a ransom demand

Gotta love the phony Islamist message from the alleged hackers -- Allah Akbah indeed.

Who writes this rubbish?!

Gotta wonder whether this latest (hedge fund?) assault on TalkTalk plc is linked to upheavals in the wider telecoms sector. With a wave of takeovers and mergers occurring globally in the industry. BT and EE, and Three and O2, to merge in Britain alone. Other fixed-wire and mobile operators keen to consolidate too. Achieving "synergies" of their own by pooling plant; cutting costs; and boosting revenues through Quad Play offerings.

Maybe some vulture telco is waiting in the wings today, ready to pounce on TalkTalk? If only for its sizeable customer-base. This latest data theft d�b�cle being just one in a string of recent scandals targeting the long-beleaguered telco. Each attack driving down the cost of acquiring TalkTalk, ultimately to a firesale price.

Nor should we rule out "trojans" in the TalkTalk boardroom itself. Directors playing along with a City coup to destroy the company from within. Just as Paul Flowers, the Meth-head at the Coop Bank wrecked that fine institution from within. Greatly pleasing certain Hedge Fund interests which seized control soon afterwards.

Could that explain Harding's half-hearted handling of this scandal at TalkTalk? Does she already know, deep down, that it's game over for TalkTalk? A case now of unwinding various financial positions to suit the conspirators? Ensuring the "right" victims suffer the brunt of what is, in practice, a sustained financial attack on the telco?

Im on the Talk Talk Business network but luckily with a reseller Pulse8 so safe

Pulse8 still have to give some information about you line over to TalkTalk, though this may only be you address and phone number, but could also include your name...

Worst case scenario is targeted phishing calls, but with the amount of companies out there selling our information anyway, thats hardly something new.

Sounds like the average dweeb from xbox live game chat!

FYI, Allah Akbar [censored] is some random [censored] all the twitting kids are saying at the moment... not sure why.... but yep.... what a world we live in... reminds me of the lizard squad rubbish from christmas!

They where so badass that when I trolled them for a few days using Twitter NOTHING HAPPENED!

Pulse8 confirmed only basic info is passed to TT in order for them to migrate the line. They later emailed me saying TT have confirmed to them no Pulse8 customer data was breached and only residential customers are effected

With the fault that's gone on for 6 months with TalkTalk, unresolved and now this, we are looking to move away ASAP.

They previously refused to let us leave without paying fees, despite the fault being unresolved. This came directly from the CEO's office which I find incredible.

Another email to the CEO has been sent and we will be moving this week as this is utterly unnaceptable behaviour from TalkTalk.

It is obvious this breach started earlier than stated , or the same group were responsible for the previous attacks.

If you want to leave TalkTalk due to them exposing your personal data which is probably now circulating the internet then there should be no charge to leave even if in contract - this is the least they should offer customers.

If they do attempt do charge make sure you tell the national press as that's the only way they listen.
