From the reports that I have herd (BBC R4); Name and address + date of birth details and login password have been lost; commencing from February 2014.

If this is the case, i would contend that the statement "No financial data has been lost" is open to question. What personal details do you need to open a Credit card A/C ?

Was the "personal data" of their customers held as plain-text on their servers ? or was encryption used ?

The whole Internet retail industry is increasingly looking to be a Retail-Fest devoid of integrity.

[Edit:Give me a reason why a vendor would want your Date of birth ! outside Marketing Profile reasons i.e. not a valid reason]
