I guess with more information, more possibility exists for social engineering an individual but why aren't people doing the same to BT or Virgin Media, for example?

This was predominantly a SQL injection attack was it not? Rather than social engineering.

No, I meant that with account number and sort code PLUS with the other personally identifiable details, hackers could use this set of data in social engineering scams for direct debits or whatever. Not the attack itself but what the combination of data could be used for.

Yeah, it could.

But then... Direct Debit guarantee... so everyone would get their money back.
