NEW on the Virgin Media data breach: data on customers that asked to block/unblock websites - including porn, extreme gore, gambling - linked to contact details was also on the database. It's a small subset of 900k but serious due to potential extortion https://t.co/V0HsZkdeEz

Lovely that @virginmedia tried to downplay their breach, but the data included who looks at porn (for some reason an ISP tracked this) with their name, email addy and physical address. https://t.co/umg7Qiul5I

Christ alive. "A customer database left unsecured online by Virgin Media contained details linking some customers to pornography and explicit websites." https://t.co/E0rxFKxEwu

Virgin media takes security and not telling the truth very seriously. What’s wrong with so many companies trying to downplay data breaches. The truth will surface anyway... https://t.co/dvdBSmT5Rf#Infosec
