A BBC Newsnight investigation found that customer details had been used by call centres abroad to approach Bulldog customers and obtain credit card details. Cable & Wireless and current Bulldog owner Pipex have issued a High Court injunction requiring the former employee and call centres to cease using the data.
The ICO said it had received a response from Cable & Wireless last month explaining how the breach occurred and would begin a dialogue with the company in the coming weeks to ensure that it does not happen again.
Analysts advised organisations to assess the risks to their confidential data in the light of the incident.
