Re: Do you feel secure?

The biggest security loop hole is the fact that many of these companies have call centres in India and a lot of our data is stored there. It is not just Talktalk but BT too rely on remote call centres.
I am with Talktalk and got a call over 6 months from a 'tech' fella saying there was a problem with my computer and that he would help me fix it. I played along until the point where he wanted me to log onto a URL. A quick search revealed that the site I was directed to is a well known source for viruses and spyware.
Not falling for these scams is very much a case of common sense.
