Keith Aldridge alerted CEO's office to call from fraudster 14 months before firm had first of series of data breaches
Senior TalkTalk staff were warned as early as 2013 that fraudsters were accessing customers' personal details - two years before the company fell victim to an external cyber-attack.
As further TalkTalk fraud victims came forward this week - one losing almost 10,000 - it has emerged that a manager in the chief executive's office was warned of a suspected data breach in July 2013, more than a year before the first evidence emerged that part of the firm's database had been leaked.
