Attackers accessed personal information including names, email addresses and details about failed credit checks on some 14 million people. The U.K.’s Information Commissioner’s Office fined the company £500,000 ($653,000) for the incident, the highest penalty authorized under the U.K.’s 1988 Data Protection Act.

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. On June 13, the company first announced that its networks had been compromised by intruders, and that it was working with authorities.
