2degrees’ disables sections of website after customer details leak

Our new mobile operator’s online blues are continuing after Monday’s crash.

Yesterday, 2degrees website was offline for most of the morning.

The telco says it was because of the weight of traffic hitting the site as more than 100,000 checked it out.

Now, a new problem has emerged.

A number of customers reported that when they went to the sign-up page on 2degrees’ website, they could see the details left by the previous person to sign-up, including name, address and date of birth.

2degrees says the problem affected around 100 people.

The "Your 2degrees" and "Online Store" sections of its website have now been disabled since around 10am as the company grapples with the privacy glitch.

Other services are unaffected, and people can still sign-up for service via the site.

THE CUTE APPROACH: Below: the service message on 2degrees' website. It says a "traffic jam" has caused some "kinks" and that "We should be back up and running really soon. We're really sorry for the inconvenience (no one is more upset than us!)":
