What To Do If You're A TalkTalk Customer

Following a major hacking attack, there are some basic precautions you can take if you're a TalkTalk customer.

If you're one of TalkTalk's four million customers, your personal details may have fallen into the hands of hackers.

So what should you do next?
:: First, you should change your banking and other online passwords as a precaution.

:: For the next few months, you should check your accounts for any suspicious activity.

:: If you spot any activity that's suspect you should call Action Fraud - the UK's national fraud and internet crime reporting centre - on 0300 123 2050.

::  If you spot any suspicious activity, request a copy of your credit file to check for any suspicious credit applications.

:: TalkTalk is offering customers 12 months of free credit reporting with credit reference agency Noddle. Customers should sign up using code TT231.

:: Given that specific TalkTalk account information may have been compromised, anyone calling you and claiming to be from the company should be treated with caution, even if they know details of your account.

:: TalkTalk will never call customers asking to provide personal details or passwords. If in doubt, TalkTalk can be called on 0800 083 2710 or 0141 230 0707.
