Problem is all companies hold your details on PC's/Servers which are connected to the net, so this could potentially happen to services that you use and pay for offline, such as Gas and electricity for example...

Apparently around the same time as Talk Talk was hit, about a dozen other UK companies were also targeted, so who knows what other data may have already been compromised.

Indirect consequences could be an issue, I don't know WHAT sort of stuff the hackers got from Talk Talk but as an example my wife sent the details of her passport number , address, name etc to a girl (on Talk Talk) who is organising a trip to Las Vegas. The girl is legit they go every two years, but has my wifes data been downloaded by hackers from her friends talk talk account?

I'm also a TT customer, oh joy...
