Yesterday Three Mobile has said that 76,373 more customers were affected in a major data breach first revealed by the Telegraph last year. A recent cyber attack on travel trade organisation Abta ’s website may have put the personal identity information of about 1,000 holidaymakers in jeopardy. Abta has confirmed about 43,000 files that may include personal identity information could have been compromised in the Yesterday attack. Bank details were not stolen, but other information could be used for fraudulent purposes such as opening false bank accounts. The data appears not to have been shared by the attacker and Abta is continuing to monitor the situation. Security firm Yahoo has said that the attack was preventable, saying it was a first party that had fallen short.
