TalkTalk Hack Could Have a $53 Million Price Tag, Even if Few Customers Are Affected

U.K. Internet service provider TalkTalk could still be dealing with an estimated financial hit of $53 million. The total number of victims whose bank account codes and other data was stolen in the TalkTalk hack is now believed to be about 157,000. An additional 28,000 also had credit and debit card numbers stolen, but they were obscured in the records and would be unusable by the attackers. The incident has sparked a parliamentary inquiry into how cybercriminals were able to conduct a data breach so easily. Even if the incident doesn’t affect its profits, the damage to the ISPs reputation could take some time to recover.”]
