The company says there&#8217;s no evidence of fraudulent activity, but those affected have been notified.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are extremely disappointed and sorry for any upset this may cause. The protection of our data has to be at the heart of our business, and we&#8217;ve fallen short here,&#8221; said Alex Baldock, chief executive of Dixons Carphone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve taken action to close off this unauthorised access and though we have currently no evidence of fraud as a result of these incidents, we are taking this extremely seriously.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The company has launched an investigation into the incident and is said to be engaged with cyber security experts. Baldock added that Dixons Carphone has also &#8220;added extra security measures&#8221; to its systems.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ico.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Information Commissioner&#8217;s Office<\/a> (ICO), the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fca.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Financial Conduct Authority<\/a> and law enforcement have all been informed about the

agencies to ascertain the details and impact on customers,&#8221; an ICO spokesperson told ZDNet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anyone concerned about lost data and how it may be used should follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.actionfraud.police.uk\/resources-fraud-advice\">the advice of Action Fraud<\/a>,&#8221; the ICO added.<\/p>\n<p>The National Cyber Security Centre has warned people to be mindful of potential fraud and follow-up campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The National Cyber Security Centre is working with Dixons Carphone plc and other agencies to understand how this data breach has affected people in the UK and advise on mitigation measures,&#8221; an NCSC spokesperson told ZDNet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anyone concerned about fraud or lost data should contact Action Fraud and we recommend that people are vigilant against any suspicious activity on their bank accounts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The NCSC website offers advice to organisations about ensuring their online security is as robust as
