TalkTalk Customer Data Breach Compensation

A Significant Attack

The news of the attack came in the wake of the Experian breach which resulted in the details of 15 million T-Mobile customers being hacked from Experian databases. Several class action law suits have been initiated in America with the fallout set to cost Experian a significant amount of money.
