Data Breach. Water UK. Pok茅mon.
Data breach victim threatened after a loan is taken out in her name.
Reports of data breaches are coming more and more common and in this programme we hear about one which led to fake companies and loans being taken out in victims' names. One person tells us how she received threats of violence. The victims were all employees of cosmetics company Shiseido, who denied the breach came from them.. Shari Vahl investigates.
Last year, water firms dumped raw sewage into rivers and seas, on average, 825 times a day. Last month Water UK, a membership body representing the UK water industry, apologised for not acting quickly enough on sewage spills and vowed to 鈥榩ut things right鈥�, starting with a 拢10 billion investment. But the cost of improvements will lead to an increase in water bills for years to come. Winifred Robinson talks to Head of Environmental Strategy at Water UK Lucinda Guilfoyle about what the investment will achieve and how much it will impact bills.
