    Lizzie, it's very worrying. I wasn't sure what Odido is, but Mr Google says it's your largest mobile phone company. I wonder if access to all that information will make users' phone banking information vulnerable. It must be a nightmare for everyone, but if a company like that isn't hack-proof, it must be a worry for lots of other organisations.

      Daisy, Odido took over a few smaller providers a few years ago. I don't think it will affect the banking, they say it won't anyway, they need more than an account number to do all that.

      A young man at the gym, this is another story, I knew he was something in IT, I was talking to him the other day and he is head of security for CCV, I don't know if that is the same in the UK, I doubt it, but, each time a card or pin payment is paid it goes through CCV and their security has to be very tight, that is his work. It must be all very difficult to stop the hackers.

        Lizzie, yes you have to give your CCV number when you use your credit/debit card. I think that is the final security "gate" when you're paying for anything. What a responsible job!
