Interesting...and probably something @Toby should escalate...and quickly!

Its either been a disgruntled employee who has stolen a database, or their systems have been hacked.

It'd be interesting to know whats on that list from a security perspective. And if its genuine and as up to date as it claims to be, then why don't O2 know about it? Or do they and they just haven't told their customers?

As usual...probably a good time to change your passwords for your O2 accounts! If they have email addresses, they probably have your password in one form or another.

That is of course if its genuine!

Perhaps I'm missing something but I'm not sure of the point of this post.

That's why I thought it spam.

I too flagged it as spam. Who is the OP and are they the ones selling info?? As a statement it's pointless with no foundation.

I also flagged it as spam. Not sure I was too interested in the topics listed at the bottom of the post.

Nor can I understand why it is still here with all the flagging we have done?

Maybe @Anonymous could explain the purpose for us?

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
