I was watching Panorama ( I think it was ) ) last night .

They were reporting on internet security and how open we all are ( as we know ) to fraud , with respect to our info , stored on company databases .

They got this bloke ( ex con , who knew his way around hacking into company websites ) to have a look at the Talk Talk site to see what he thought about it , given the recent events .

His verdict was that it remained very vunerable .

They also got these other people to see if they could access info from the sites of 5 other major companies - and sure enough personal details could easily be accessed .

Frightening , isn't it ?

It's as expected.
It's amazing many of the public actually trust commercial security measures. They approve of loads of stuff that, IMO, they are merely getting away with.
No it's not really.

It's not generally any more details than would have been found on a cheque. (How often were you requested for name and address for the back?)

Crime has fallen, I suspect alot of this is to do with added security of buildings and it being much easier to hack than buy a stocking or a balaclava.
In another programme it took someone less than 2 minutes to gather all details needed to clone someone. Scary really.
