According top Virgin Media policy, sensitive data collection should be stored solely on secure servers, such as the frequently used FTP networks. While Virgin Media maintains the argument that the incident was allegedly isolated, subscribers who will experience information release were all contracted at the Carphone Warehouse. These customers were contacted immediately, individually informed of the error performed by Virgin Media’s operational facilities.
