From phone calls made to and from prisons, to the details of thousands of children and their parents, hacks seem to be everywhere and are affecting everyone these days. The latest one to reveal they’ve been hacked is JD Wetherspoons, the popular pub chain.
Revealing that its old website was hacked between the 15th and 17th of June, but only learning about the attack on the 1st of December, Wetherspoons called in security specialists before informing customers on the 3rd of December. Yet again the hack seems to have revealed a database containing numerous customer details, currently put at around 656,723 customers.
The details included in the database were the first name, surname, date of birth and contact details such as mobile phone numbers and email addresses.
If you purchased a voucher before August 2014, the last four digits of your credit or debit card could have been accessed, although they are keen to express that no other details, such as security codes or the remainder of your card details, were exposed.
Don’t pay by card? How about not using your card when you go to Wetherspoons? This doesn’t affect me? Did you sign up for their free wifi, or maybe even used the Contact us form? If you did then your data could be included in that which was revealed.
Amongst TalkTalk, Vodafone and VTech, more and more companies are finding their systems breached. Maybe now is a good time to avoid handing out any details to any company or person.
