Remember part 2 of that section: "establish the likelihood and severity of the resulting risk to people’s rights and freedoms. If it’s likely that there will be a risk then you must notify the ICO;" So if it's a small irrelevant website, there isn't likely to be a high or severe risk to that "breach", so they should be ok. In terms of options, I think there are more, mostly around sites getting more sophisticated at…
'So if it's a small irrelevant website, there isn't likely to be a high or severe risk to that "breach", so they should be ok.' To be clear, no website, depending on passwords alone, can know if an access was authorized by the person who is the subject of the account. Therefore, it would seem that the only sites that can use password-only authentication without risk are those that hold no personal information about t…
Look, I am not a laywer, and I am happy for someone to correct me here, but this is the wording of the law:
"A personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data."
Is there anything in that sentence that means a successful credential stuffing attack would not fit the criteria?

I haven't found the occasional card replacement to be a pain, but I have two or more credit cards at any time.
It's not just being without, is updating all other services that are tied to your card. Now I personally don't let third parties store my cards, but it's quite common in this day and age of saas everything

I do not use Deliveroo but what sounds like something similar in my area. I live 20 minutes outside of a small town in Norway and the restaurants/kebab shops don't generate enough take-away business to provide this service themselves. There is another company that does that for them and services all making take-away possible at all. Now this company actually operates with a time guarantee, that is if the food is not…
genuine question, how can food stay warm/fresh if you have to drive 20-30 minutes with it? how often do you get the food cold?
I can't understand this fraud - surely getting something delivered to your door is the silliest way to defraud something? Also what are they doing with the £100s of takeaway food they are ordering? I must be missing something here.
From my experience with Deliveroo, you can pretty much order at any address, wait for the delivery person at the doorstep and retrieve your order without actually living there.

I don't thinks it's old fashioned. Not being lazy and having a conscience is enough to avoid them. Although those things are going out of fashion quite fast.
> having a conscience What does having a conscience have to do with whether or not you use a food delivery service?
I'm surprised that this hasn't occurred to you already at least as an issue for someone (not necessarily you, or, for that matter, me). Still, this given that this is a thread where things like "food delivery" need to be explained from first principles, I shouldn't be too surprised.
Perhaps worth mentioning, since it's nowhere in the article, that the first thing to do is not to spend hours on the phone with Deliveroo (or whoever else) but to call your bank to report the transactions as fraudulent and to block your card. That will probably get you a refund quicker (the transactions will likely be held until clarified) and will stop any further fraud. As for Deliveroo's support team... Not very g…
This is basically the sole "feature" of credit cards I value. Any time I'm buying something from somewhere that might act poorly, I use a credit card for the free leverage I have in a disagreement. Had an old phones screen repaired at a store inside a Walmart. They fixed it but half the screen had no touch capability. They were highly resistant to doing anything about it until I said I would just do a charge back. To…

Good suggestion. There's definitely a series of steps to go through before any time consuming and expensive lawyering up is needed.
Small claims court often does not require a lawyer. But yeah, the general process of "document things and escalate using said documentation to people whose job it is to make sure expensive lawsuits and regulatory actions don't happen" is an excellent choice.

This is also the reason why creditcards are so ridiculously expensive. But then is there literally any alternative payment method in the US that does not involve a creditcard? It seems like the US banking system has just not invented anything in the last 30 years. Its not rocket science: money from my bank account to Deliveroo's bank account in (near) real time.
Surprisingly the US is much harder to convince. Ask people under 30yo in Aus or the UK when they last wrote a cheque, and the answer "what's a cheque?" is likely the response. Signing for a payment, magstripe, even using a PIN is mostly a distant memory.
