So a company as big as TalkTalk can be hacked wide open by a 15 year old boy! Somebody high up should be sacked for that and users should be released from their contracts free.
It's only when I think about it I realise how much of my data must be floating around out there, available to computer savvy 15 year olds- and there's a lot of them.
We all use credit cards, debit cards, on-line banking, Amazon etc. Even if we could manage without them all our info is still on some banks/Government/NHS/supermarket computer.
However careful we are on our own computers, we now can't trust anyone who has our info to make their security unbreakable.
What on Earth do we do? Keep our money under the bed and always use cash?
Even then you'd still have your info floating about.
