Vodafone accidentally sent a customer personal details of 18 other accounts

A customer has alerted Vodafone to a privacy breach after she was sent personal details of 18 other customers.

On Vodafone’s Facebook page on Tuesday night, the customer said she had received “hundreds” of other people's accounts and bills along with her own monthly bill.

Vodafone spokesman Sam Sinnott​ confirmed the telco had sent a PDF containing the name, address and phone numbers for 18 customer accounts to the woman along with her e-bill. The company believed it was a one-off breach.

“There was no credit card or banking information involved in this incident, nor was there any information related to a customer’s calling or usage history,” Sinnott said in a statement on Thursday.
