Yet no one held to account in Talk-Talk. The security was so incompetent, at the very minimum Directors should be excluded from being holding Directors positions in the future.<p>The Police appear to have gone after the easy convictions.<p>Corporate governance needs to add some knowledgeable in basic computer skills to ask the right questions.

Does anyone have any details of what the vulnerability actually was?<p>I remember at the time a security &quot;expert&quot; was interviewed on R4 and claimed it was Islamic terrorists - something that he obviously read on a messageboard 10 minutes before the interview.
