Hackers hit 14 new firms including Vodafone and sell YOUR details on ‘Dark Web’ as major probe is launched by Britain’s ‘FBI’

Posted on October 31, 2015 by Dissent

Ben Ellery and Jaber Mohamed report:

Criminals are selling the private details of thousands of British consumers online as a result of the TalkTalk hacking scandal – and dozens more major companies are affected, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Confidential information including names, addresses, mobile phone numbers and bank details of TalkTalk customers are being bought and sold by fraudsters in illegal trading markets on the internet.

And customer details of 14 other big-name brands, including Vodafone, Visa, Sky TV, Amazon and Ticketmaster, are also being sold for as little as 10p, leaving consumers vulnerable to a huge range of scams.
