TalkTalk shocked customers last month when the broadband, TV, mobile and fixed-line service provider said it had been hacked, potentially putting the private details of its 4 million customers in the hands of criminals.

Fewer than 28,000 obscured bank details were accessed and fewer than 1.2 million customer email addresses, names and phone numbers were also accessed.
