Vodafone burglary causes outage for many thousands
by Darren Allan
Last night at around 1am, Vodafone’s Basingstoke facility was raided by burglars.
The criminals stole and damaged specialist network hardware and computers, causing major outages for several hundred thousand customers in the south.
Apparently the majority of those who lost voice, text and net service were in the M4 corridor area, but problems have been reported in other regions in the south.
The latest update on the Vodafone forum seems to indicate that this issue has now been largely resolved.
The company posted: “Voice and text services are now working again and we expect the rest of our services to be operational by the end of the day. There has been no impact on the privacy of customers’ data.”
Vodafone says if you’re still experiencing problems, then check out this thread here and follow the listed steps.
The network operator also stated that the site was protected by a “high level” security system. But evidently he fell asleep after his cheese sandwich and Horlicks. In all seriousness, Vodafone is reviewing its security in conjunction with the police as a result of the incident.
