Dixons Carphone has revealed that its 2017 data breach may have affected as many as 10 million customers. In June, the electricals retailer announced that hackers had gained access to some customers’ personal data and payment card details, although the cards contained neither pin codes, card verification values nor any authentication data.
In statement today, the company said its investigation has identified that approximately 10 million records containing personal data may have been accessed in 2017 and left the company systems, but that the records do not contain bank details.
Dixons said it had found no evidence that any fraud had resulted from the breach.
Since the June announcement, Dixons has been strengthening its security measures to safeguard customer information. It has also increased its investment in cyber security and added extra controls.
