Virgin Media breach links customers to porn

It has been reported that, in some cases, the recently discovered Virgin Media breach links customers to porn.

This is because the breach is understood to have contained information about customer requests to unblock access to certain websites, according to the BBC. The database is said to contain details about an online form used by over a thousand customers who had asked for particular websites to be blocked or unblocked.

This worrying revelation is an additional cause for concern in what we already believe to be a particularly worrying and avoidable data breach event.
