Vodafone says customers were able to access other people's account information through its MyVodafone app on Wednesday morning.

Spokeswoman Meera Kaushik said the privacy breach followed a planned upgrade to the app at 7am, which resulted in an "unexpected caching issue".

"The upgrade was rolled back within 15 minutes and the caching issue corrected, however it did mean that for a period of time a small number of users were able to see some of the information that customers had entered into their app," she said.
Vodafone's analysis was not complete, "but we have confirmed that at least three customers' personal information was exposed in the brief period of time between the upgrade and the roll-back this morning," Kaushik said on Wednesday afternoon.

Another Vodafone customer, Peter Murphy, said he also been presented with Dayal's account details, and had then seen the account details of two other Vodafone customers when he logged off and back into the app.
He believed he would have been able to make changes to those people's accounts.
