Dixons Carphone hack: Millions of customers' details stolen in huge cyber attack

Dixons Carphone has been hit by a major cyber attack that has left millions of customers' details exposed. The company has lost nearly 6 million customer bank card details and more than a million personal data records, it said. The group said that, while 5.8 million of the payment cards targeted were protected by chip and pin, around 105,000 non-EU cards without chip and pin protection were compromised. Dixons Carphone said relevant card companies had been notified, but added that there was no evidence of fraud on the cards as a result of the incident. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
