The Register is reporting today that the recent security flaws in TV Licensing's website have led to 25,000 customers inadvertently compromising their bank details.
TV Licensing issued the following statement: "We can now confirm that fewer than 25k customer sent over unencrypted bank details and that credit and debit cards numbers were always secure. We mailed 40k people who may have entered bank details and sort codes as a precaution but we've now been able to confirm that the actual number was much lower."
As we have previously mentioned, the total number of customers affected - those that used the website to update their personal details - probably runs into the hundreds of thousands.
The TV Licensing website, you might remember, is the responsibility of dysfunctional outsourcing giant Capita.
The BBC, you might remember, tends to turn a blind eye to Capita misdeeds and inefficiency. Not that you can trust anything the BBC says.
