Data Breach Incident
Be aware folks.
I’ve just been informed by Virgin Media that they recently became aware that some of your personal information, stored on one of our databases has been accessed without permission. Our investigation is ongoing but we currently understand that the database was accessible from at least 19 April 2019 and that the information has been recently accessed. More details can be found here https://www.virginmedia.com/help/data-incident |

Just received the email. I did have a marketing call today from someone with a very strong Asian accent but although the caller sounded vague the number 08000521251 does appear to be a legitimate VM number.

Probably explains why for the last several months i've had an increase of spam emails that seem to have now stopped.

Hardly surprising. VM's security practices are a bit lax. The passwords for my VM are still:

A 'marketing' database apparently. Makes even more sense to opt out of all marketing, so your details aren't shared about so much. They should lock a few VM execs up for not to protecting data securely. They'd soon tighten up. |

Re: Data Breach Incident
Not had an email but for the last few months my ex-directory VM phone line is getting a cold call at least once a day.
