@Jan It's not only Telkom. A week ago Standard Bank sent affected customers a message that their details may have been compromised by the Debt-In breach.

So SB, Telkom and African Bank, who else?
They look like they quite a prominent player in their field, I suspect there’s a lot more companies affected.

Hey Telkom, numbnuts...

How much info did Debt-In have on your customers? Be forthcoming about that ffs.
Also which customers would have been breached? All, or just those you had handed over to these incompetent morons?

I didn't receive any notification... does that mean I wasn't compromised?
 
No message means I dont have a debt collector after me.

Thanks debt-in

I wouldn't count on them not having your info. Your info is at credit bureaus if you have good or bad credit.
 
So, from the posts above, it seems more accurate to report that Debt-In had a breach, which impacted Standard Bank, FNB, Telkom and other customers who are in debt.

Is this before POPIA became effective or has it been reported to the information regulator?
