Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Hackers broke into an AT&T online store last weekend and stole personal information, including credit card details, on nearly 19,000 customers.
The customers, who had shopped for DSL equipment used for broadband
internet access, will be notified and protected with the help of credit
monitoring services paid for by AT&T, according to the
telecommunications company.
In addition, AT&T has said it will work with law enforcement agencies to track down the hackers.
The question of whether internet merchants should keep customer
details, in particular credit card data, stored in online servers has
been a bone of contention for a number of years.
According to security experts, nearly all credit card data thefts to
date have occurred as the result of successful hacks into the online
data repositories of merchants and credit card processors. One of the
most high profile thefts occurred in June 2005 when details of an
estimated 40 million cards was stolen from CardSystems Solutions, a
third-party processor of payment data for Mastercard and Visa.
