Fifth arrest in TalkTalk hacking probe: Now Plod cuff chap in Wales
Cops probing the TalkTalk mega-hack arrested a teen in south Wales on Tuesday. The 18-year-old is the fifth suspect to be cuffed in connection with the computer security breach at the UK ISP. Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Service's Cyber Crime Unit and officers from Southern Wales Regional Organised Crime Unit, …

What with TalkTalks down playing the impact, have they actually got a case any more?
I thought the official story was that only a handful of customer details were lifted, and in any case, there were no bank details... so it almost seems like the police are wasting money investigating this surely?

Re: A ydynt yn hyd yn oed yn cael y rhyngrwyd yng Nghymru?
As a Saxon, I do enjoy the Welsh modifications to the leading letter(s). We have often seen the leading "C" in Cymraeg modifying to Gymraeg when there was a suitable ending in front of it, but the Nghymru being brought to us by the preceeding yng is a real delight.

Re: Government links ....
"Amazing how plod is so interested in this hack"
Perhaps because a lot of personal data was allegedly stolen?
"othing to do with the fact the Talk Talk CEO is married to a Tory Minister then ......"
Oooh yes, thats it. The government leaned on a police commisioner down at the weekly masons meeting and told him to sort it out pronto boyo or else it'll be cuts for your force before you can say "'Ello 'Ello! What hacks going on 'ere then?"
Where do you people buy your tin foil hats these days , are Primark doing them?

"Where were they for the Sony PlayStation hack then?"
That didn't happen in the UK did it.
"Where were they for the Carphone Warehouse hack?"
"Where were they for the Moonpig hack?"
Both investigated, but if the perpetrators arn't in the UK and can't be traced what do you expect them to do about it? Seems to me the talktalk hackers were a bunch of braindead script kiddies who were traced pretty easily.
But hey, lets go with the conspiracy theory that the Met police are sucking up to the Tory government. This is btw, the same Met Police that screwed over Tory minister Andrew Mitchell with officers commiting perjury and trashed former tory minister leon brittans reputation only 9 months back and didn't bother telling him he was in the clear before he died. I suppose that was all just a misdirection pantomime though, right?
Idiot.

Idiot."
Haven't you got a budget statement to be fawning over Tory boy?
And, for the record, Leon Brittan wasn't cleared of the accusations. There was a lack of evidence to prosecute. Two very different things buddy.

Lame. Try harder.

Lack of evidence? ITYM no evidence apart from one deluded idiot who later retracted his statement (Oooh, but I bet he was threatened into doing it by The Man eh?) and further evidence from other witnesses that the idiot was lying.
Sorry, you lose. Suck it up. Go cuddle your Corbyn teddy bear.

@dcluley Re: Only half the problem
"Great effort seems to be taken to incarcerate teenage hackers. I wish a bit more effort was put in to incarcerating TalkTalk bosses who allowed such easily bypassed security."
The police only know their age after they've been caught.
I would greatly support incarceration for executives of any company so negligent with personal data but the police enforce laws, they do not enact them.
So in spite of your handle your are pretty clueless.

Problem fixed
TalkTalk have resolved the problem by only allowing access to the myaccount web site if you have a TalkTalk broadband line. presumably they can monitor the hackers
So if your line goes down - tough shit
If you have other services apart from broadband - tough shit
Anyone know if it is illegal to force people to pay for an invoice? Paper invoice £5.00 for one off or £1.90 a month. Too f**cking ignorant to give email invoices as an option.

Eventually the plods will realise
that all five boys they arrested and subsequently bailed were just part of a massive botnet that launched the DDoS on TalkTalk before the breach, because their internet-connected gear (crap router, unpatched PC or what have you) were turned against them.
It was a "sophisticated cyber attack" after all, right?
