Symmantec Norton credit card number skim
britishtrident - 20/3/09 at 07:28 AM

Symmantec the market leaders in internet security products have had a massive security leak. A worker at an Indian call centre skimmed the numbers of UK credit cards.

It is not known howm many numbers were taken ----- A spokes person for the company called it "An isolated incident".

Not funny if it happens to you but it is ironic.

thats why I refuse to speak to non british call centre's. It's a long expensive trip to go smack some one in the face in India.

"Where is you customer contact centre?" is a worthwhile question with anything finance - Banking, Mortgage, Loans, Investments etc. If they are hesitant answering..... Many now pride themselves on UK only call centres.

No wonder why Norton antivirus and Firewall are considered c**p.

Even their staff is corrupted.
