British Airways Data Theft

[Blue Til Death]

Ive only just found out about this and i fell into the category that is affected, ie I made a transaction to BA between 25th Aug and 4th Sept or so.. I have cancelled the card I made the booking with in time as no dodgy transactions have been made on my card. I would strongly advise anyone else affected to do the same..

I'm a bit of a technophobe but find it strange that multi national companies and indeed sovereign governments cannot protect their (Our) data..??

Thought i'd get it in early, someone was bound to do it at some point.

Anyone who mentions Brexit from here is a total ****... Agreed?

I almost guarantee it comes out that they were using crappy security practices.

When will these companies learn that security costs money and invest in it?
Note that their shares are down 2.5% today - on a market value of close to £13.5bn that's a drop of more than £300m.
Wonder if the shareholders will vote for a big investment next AGM.
