Bulldog customer? Check your credit card!!

Pipex owned ISP Bulldog have finally come clean and admitted that 100,000 of
it's customers details have been stolen.
It admitted that the customer details were "illegally obtained" by unnamed
individuals in 2005 but gave no details why they have taken so long to publish
the security breach. The details only came to light after Cable & Wireless, who
sold the ISP to Pipex last year, uncovered the theft following an external
enquiry
| "It's important to point at that we have absolutely no evidence
that customers have had their credit card details used illegally," |
| Bulldog spokesperson |
It seems unsolicited phone calls were used to obtain customers bank account
and credit card details, but why someone would go thought that trouble and then
not use the "credit card details...illegally" seems rather far fetched.
