    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 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.
