Having teamed up with Bulldog’s owner, Pipex, C&W said it is pursuing the worker with an injunction to stop “any further use” of the data, which includes users’ credit card details.
But in a statement, C&W said there is currently “no evidence” that the worker, who has now been sacked by the company, has used any of the credit card numbers for identity fraud.
The employee has been identified as Seemab Zafar, The Mail on Sunday reported. Her ex-employer is chasing her through the High Court for more than £300,000 in damages, after she stole a laptop loaded with the customer data.
