RED FACED Aussie telco Virgin Mobile has admitted exposing its customers' personal details including their name, address, date of birth and phone number on its website.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the outfit offered customers a free domestic return flight on Virgin Blue if they bought a handset on a plan from the operator.

All punters had to do was register their details on the Virgin Mobile website, wait for an SMS containing a six character "free flight SMS code" and then enter that code on the Virgin Mobile website.
