(update) Vodafone fires staff after security breaches

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Dissent

Vodafone has fired a number of employees following an investigation into security breaches on the weekend.

Customer records were leaked after a password to the telco’s internet database was shared by a number of people.

Since the incident, Vodafone says it has let employees go and contacted the New South Wales Police.
