In the light of the Talk Talk breach has anyone on here ever suffered at the hands of cyber criminals?

No, because I keep my cash and cyber completely separate, even have a separate bank for Pay Pal. PAYG phone too.

A sign of old age I suppose. Every time I've heard Talk Talk mentioned over the last 24 hours I've wound up humming "It's my Life"

Not " get a life " then ?

I've not suffered, but I've been targeted. I auctioned a camera on Ebay and someone used a hijacked account to win the auction. They then tried to pressure me into posting the camera before they had paid. Threats of having my account suspended etc. What made me suspicious was the really poor command of written English. Also it was an American Ebay account that was used and I had set the auction as UK only. Digging deeper revealed that the emails that appeared to come from Ebay were not from there at all. Before I could report it, Ebay identified the attempted fraud, locked the hijacked account and refunded all the fees.
I've also had attempts to hack my email account, but I've got that well secured.

We are alright we have a shared computer that we can access one hour a week. We have enough trouble with real world Lewes "monks" to not need trouble with cyber things.
