TalkTalk's wi-fi hack advice is 'astonishing'

The UK broadband provider confirmed that the sample of stolen router IDs it had been shown was real.

But it is still advising users that there is "no need" to change their routers' settings.

A cyber-security advisor to Europol said he was astounded by the decision.

A spokeswoman for TalkTalk said that customers could change their settings "if they wish" but added that she believed there was "no risk to their personal information".
