TalkTalk call centre staff manacled over security breach

Posted on January 28, 2016 by Dissent

Kelly Fiveash reports:

TalkTalk has turned three workers—based at a call centre provider in India—over to the police, as part of its ongoing investigation into the budget ISP’s security practices, following a major hack on its systems last year.

The company added that—in light of the arrests—it was considering ending its partnership with the call centre Wipro, where three suspects were accused of breaching TalkTalk’s policies.
