This is all very interesting. They're having a great laugh. They're begging for someone to take them on. Like painting a big "Kick me" sign on themselves. There are also equity arguments, so Talk-Talk makes a eye-wateringly attrractive defendant. What's the appetite?
If there is an appetite, is there anyone interested in pro bono generic/representative small claim pleadings in contract, data protection, and tort against Talk-Talk with accompanying skeleton and procedural/costs submissions, especially given that since the CA decision in Vidal-Hall v Google (subject to SC appeal) it is now possible to claim statutory damages (or accounting for profit) without any need to prove actual harm? Straw poll.
(I note only about 1-5% of people who say they'll take on such excellent clowns as these, actually will, so I'd need a huge expression of interest before I bothered)
