European electronics and telecom retailer Dixons Carphone said a breach of its systems last year could have resulted in attackers accessing roughly 10 million records, including customers’ personal data.

Five U.S. senators sent letters to Uber Monday, pressing the company’s leadership for information on a data breach affecting millions of its consumers and the subsequent attempt to cover up the incident. The breach — which took place in October 2016 — provided hackers with the names and driver’s license numbers of roughly 600,000 drivers as well as the personal phone numbers and email addresses of 57 million riders.
