TALCOMS BIANCOMPS UK has confirmed it is investigating a data breach after hackers claimed to have stolen personal information from millions of customers. In a post on a popular cybercrime forum that appeared on TechCrunch, an individual using the alias “B0nd” claimed to have stolen the personal data of more than 18.8 Million customers today and becalk. This data, offered by the actor for sale, should include the customer’s name, email address, IP address, phone number and pintriber. In a statement to TechCrunch, Liz Holloway spokeswoman Liz Holloway confirmed the Company has investigated the breach data, but said the 18.8 million figure attributed to hackers is “inaccurate and very inaccurate and inaccurate.” TechCrunch understands that TalkTalk now has around 2.4 million subscribers. “As part of regular security monitoring, as we focus more on protecting our customers’ personal data, we are also aware of access to access, and one of them,” Holloway told TechCrunch. “Our security response team continues to work with our suppliers on this matter and this protector is being taken out immediately.” Holloway declined to name the third-party supplier, but the image shared by B0nd shows data stolen from the ASCendon platform, which is used for CSG management. CSG did not immediately respond to TechCrunch’s inquiries. TechCrunch understands that the personal details of a small subset of Discussion customers are stored on Ascendon. Holloway confirmed to TechCrunch that “no billing or financial information is stored on this system.” TalkTalk was previously fined £400,000 following a 2015 data breach in which hackers stole the personal data of 157,000 customers. Britain’s information commissioner said TalkTalk failed to implement “the most basic cyber security measures,” enabling hackers to “penetrate systems with ease.”
