Title: Next up... Vodafone!
Post by: Simon on Oct 31, 2015, 22:38:09
Almost 2,000 Vodafone customers may be open to fraud after their personal details were accessed.

Criminals used customer details gained from "an unknown source" to try to access accounts between Wednesday and Thursday, the company said.  The telecommunications giant said 1,827 customers had their accounts accessed, with criminals potentially gaining their names and some bank details.  But it insisted its systems had not been breached.  Vodafone said its investigation and "mitigating actions" meant only a "handful" of customers had been subject to any fraudulent attempts to use their data.
