Vodafone U.K. said on Saturday hackers had accessed the accounts of 1,827 of its customers this week, the second cyber attack on a British telecoms company this month.<br />The attackers had potentially gained access to the victims' bank sort codes and the last four numbers of their bank accounts, along with their names and mobile telephone numbers, a Vodafone spokesman said.<br />"This incident was driven by criminals using email addresses and passwords acquired from an unknown source external to Vodafone," he added in a statement.<br />"No credit or debit card numbers or details were obtained.<br />However, this information does leave these 1,827 customers open to fraud and might also leave them open to phishing attempts," the spokesman said.
