Whirlpool Sends Bigpond Into A Spin

Some keen whirlpool forum fans sent Bigpond into a big spin last Friday when they were chatting about broadband and phone bundles.

We all know how wonderful the big Telcos are and how much they care (or even understand) customer service,

You didn’t need to be a hacker to stroll into a backend database of all BigPond bundle customers – seems that you could have easy access to client names, addresses, contact details and credit information.

As bookkeepers we are often asked about how we handle our Melbourne bookkeeping client’s information.

One thing’s for sure, we don’t broadcast it to the whole world like Bigpond.

We’ve always been suspicious of what information these large corporations have, and how they handle such sensitive information.

Some people are so willing to give all their personal information without questioning why the corporation needs it.

Its great to have forums like whirlppol to send companies like Bigpond into a big spin.
