Dixons suffers cyber attack

The personal data of up to 2.4m customers of Dixons Carphone may have been exposed in a cyber attack, the electrical goods and mobile phone retailer confirmed.

The group, which trades as Carphone Warehouse, Currys and PC World in Ireland and the UK, said the attack had been carried out on a division that operates the websites OneStopPhoneShop.com, e2save.com and Mobiles.co.uk.

It discovered the breach in one of its IT systems last week.
