TalkTalk and Post Office routers were taken down by a distributed denial of service attack October , which targeted Hull ’s internet provider Kcom and Germany ’s the Post Office . The attack left over one million customers without internet connection in Germany and the UK , with many customers complaining that TalkTalk and the Post Office had not sufficiently helped them with the issue. "We would like to reassure customers that no personal data or devices have been compromised," said a spokesman for the Post Office. The agents behind the attack have not been identified, but the attack used a similar approach to the one used against the Dyn domain name server, which took Talk Talk , eBay and Reddit offline for a period in this week by exploiting vulnerabilities in internet-connected devices.
