TopTV<\/a>\u2019s website was hacked on 1 January, but this security breach did not have any impact on the company\u2019s sensitive subscriber information.<\/p>\n

Heather Kennedy<\/a>, TopTV\u2019s vice president for marketing, explained that the TopTV website does not contain any sensitive subscriber information, such as subscriber details.<\/p>\n

The website also does not have any financial facility for payment of subscriptions, thus there are no subscriber bank details or any possible way to trace these on the site.<\/p>\n

\u201cSubscriber information is all contained in the separate and secure CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system, which is unrelated in any way to the TopTV website,\u201d said Kennedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe website is a portal for information regarding TopTV, its channels, pricing and packaging, and the Top Guide, which provides programme schedule information for the channels. This information is freely available to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kennedy said that TopTV is in the process of rectifying the security breach on their website which occurred early on New Year\u2019s Day, 1 January 2013.<\/p>\n
