Adding a bit of detail to that...

The details of 900,000 people was left unsecured and accessible online for 10 months, the company has said, and was accessed at least once.

It was a marketing database and contained phone numbers, home and email addresses.

Now we just need to wait for the spam to arrive.

I am a customer. I only became aware of this when I received an email confession from them today but I have noticed an increase in spam lately.
