Around 100,000 broadband customers of internet service provider Bulldog, have had details of their personal information stolen, according to latest reports.

Speaking to the Guardian, Bulldog confirmed that contact details including bank account and credit card details had been "illegally obtained" by an unidentified third party in 2005.

James Brown, managing director of Bulldog Internet, told the newspaper: "Our understanding is that, following an external enquiry by Cable & Wireless, it has become apparent that at some point in December 2005 Cable & Wireless had some of their customer contact details illegally obtained by a third party.

"This resulted in a small number of their customers receiving unsolicited calls."

He added Cable & Wireless were taking legal action to stop any further calls and insisted there was "absolutely no evidence" that customers had incurred any loss from their credit or debit cards as a result of the leak.

Broadband customers who are unhappy with the performance of their internet service provider are advised to consider switching to another company.
