So I get an email from Talktalk:

We are very sorry to tell you that on Thursday 22nd October a criminal investigation was launched by the Metropolitan Police Cyber Crime Unit following a significant and sustained cyberattack on our website on Wednesday 21st October. The investigation is ongoing, but unfortunately there is a chance that some of the following data may have been accessed:


• Names

• Addresses

• Date of birth

• Phone numbers

• Email addresses

• TalkTalk account information

• Credit card details and/or bank details

This is the third data breach this year, for months we've been getting daily phone calls from Indians pretending to be from Talktalk...

Should I go to the bank and get the card cancelled?
 
Yep cancel the card ASAP. TALK TALK spokesperson was on the radio this morning detailed lists already posted online by some people claiming to be a Russian islamic hacker group- that part may be a wind up of course but report implied details posted were authentic. :dk:

I'd closely monitor your account, check that no direct debits have been set up etc. and cancel the card...


...then leave Talk Talk
