ISP Demon Internet UK Exposes Private Details of 3600 Customers

Posted: 23rd Sep, 2009 By: MarkJ
demon logoBroadband ISP Demon Internet UK (THUS Group) has accidentally released a confidential Spreadsheet - containing details of 3,600 customer email addresses, telephone numbers, usernames, passwords and more - into the public domain.

The information was reportedly attached as a file to an email that had been intended to educate customers about the provider’s new eBilling system. It's understood that several thousand users received the same message, specifically those who signed up to the ISPs new paperless billing system.

ISP Demon Internet told PC Pro :

"To be clear, this information did not contain any financial or payment information (bank details, credit card numbers etc). On discovery, Demon took immediate steps to secure the information/details and security of customers affected.

We would like to apologise to all concerned but state that this was a limited and isolated case caused by human error and to reassure customers that their security is our key priority."

It's probably a good time to inform users that Demon currently has a 'Customer Satisfaction Survey' running, which can be found - HERE. Demon's broadband customer base has recently been in decline and we suspect that this latest blunder probably won't help that situation.
