Phone giants’ hacking fine

CARPHONE Warehouse have been fined £400,000 after a security failure allowed hackers to access the personal data of millions of customers.

An investigation found “multiple inadequacies” in the firm’s approach to data security.

Criminals were able to access the data of more than three million customers in the 2015 attack.

The Information Commissioner’s Office said there was no evidence the cyber attack had resulted in identity theft or fraud.
