TalkTalk’s Data Drama: When 18.8 Million Customers Turn Into a Plot Twist!
TalkTalk faces déjà vu as it confirms a data breach, potentially affecting millions. A threat actor named b0nd claims to have information on 18.8 million customers. TalkTalk says that figure is exaggerated but hasn’t named the third-party platform involved. Ah, TalkTalk—more like LeakLeak these days!
Hot Take:
In a plot twist worthy of a spy thriller, TalkTalk finds itself once again tangled in a data breach drama, but this time “b0nd” isn’t the suave British spy we all know and love. Instead, it’s a cyber villain exposing the telecom giant’s secrets. Talk about a shaken, not stirred, situation!

- TalkTalk suffers a data breach involving a third-party platform.
- A cybercriminal named ‘b0nd’ claims to have accessed data of 18.8 million customers.
- TalkTalk disputes the number of affected customers, stating it’s “significantly overstated.”
- Potential breach linked to CSG’s Ascendon platform, but CSG denies being the cause.
- TalkTalk has a history of data breaches, with a notable incident in 2015.
