A basic security flaw on the Virgin Mobile website has exposed customers'
personal details including their name, address, date of birth and phone
number.
It follows a similar glitch on Network Ten's Big Brother website last month,
which also exposed customers' personal information and forced the shutdown
of parts of the site.
A Virgin Mobile promotion, taken up by thousands, offered customers a free
domestic return flight on Virgin Blue if they bought a handset on a plan
from the operator.
In order to claim the flight, customers had to register their details on the
Virgin Mobile website, wait for an SMS containing a six character "free
flight SMS code" and then enter that code on the Virgin Mobile website.
The customer could then review their personal details and submit a claim
form for their free flight.

Oh come on, Bell, get your hand off your member and remember that your
beloved ****-buddy Telstra still holds the record for ridiculous breaches
of customer privacy.
Need a reminder?

So news shouldn't be reported unless it is biased against Telstra?
Pfft. Go back to Commie Land, commie.

Biased? Who's biased? I think, actually, that it might be YOU, against any
company that ISN'T Telstra. Otherwise you would have posted the entire news
article rather than selectively editing it to remove the bit where Virgin
said they had hired a third party to run the promotion. That company
obviously screwed up.
The leak was nothing major and nothing particularly dangerous to the
company's customers, and was a teensy drop in the ocean compared to
Telstra's handing out of silent numbers to whoever wanted to pay.
> Pfft. Go back to Commie Land, commie.
Typical right-wing parrot-like comeback to pretty much anything that
actually approaches reality.
I'd happily be branded a "commie" any day, actually. And I hate to break it
to you, Bell, but the reds-under-the-bed bull**** died out decades ago.
That said, which "Commie Land" would you have me "go back" to? Bearing in
mind that I was born here.

Sounds like what Telstra does when something doesn't go it's way.

And now BB won't tell one of it's contestants that her father has died -
Australian media has no clue and Gretel is a cow. Mooooo.

So it's Telstra's fault that VM can't hire a decent web team?

I guess you must see that one a lot.
But thanks, I'll email it to the editor of the Now We Are Talking
propaganda site.

I wonder what Ding Dong Bell would say about Telstra when it allowed me
to move my wife's independant stand alone mobile phone bill over to our
house account, which was in my name. Purpose, to amalgamate both
mobiles, landline and Bigpond ISDN accounts onto the one bill.
Imagine her hitting the roof when she rang Telstra to get something
changed on her phone and they told her that only I could access this.
She tore another arsehole into the droid at the other end saying that
(a) Telstra had no right whatsoever to transfer her account to my home
account without her permission and (b) if she couldn't get access to her
phone that she'd be ripping into them with the TIO.
She ended up producing the last bill with her account details on it to
prove that it was her phone, etc. before they allowed her access. She
was hoping that they wouldn't have done so. She wanted the smallest
excuse to sick the TIO onto Telstra.
