TalkTalk, one of UK's biggest telecoms, has suffered a "significant and sustained cyberattack" on their website, and it's possible that personal and financial information of some 4 million of the company's customers in the UK has been compromised as a result.
The potentially compromised data includes names, addresses, dates of birth, email addresses, telephone numbers, TalkTalk account information, credit card details and/or bank details. "Not all of the data was encrypted," the company noted in the
alert.
The website was attacked on Wednesday 21st October, and as soon as they realized what was going on, they pulled the website down in an effort to protect data.
