How was customer data breached at Dixons?

Between July 2017 and April 2018, a hack occurred that saw over 10 million customer records accessed. The information stolen by the hackers included:

  •       Names
  •       Home addresses
  •       Phone numbers
  •       Dates of birth
  •       Email addresses

 

These details all could have led to fraudulent activity by criminals by phishing scams for example. Dixons blamed the data breach on a hack carried out using malicious software that affected over 5,300 tills in branches of Curry’s, PC World and Dixons Travel. The vulnerability went undetected for around 9 months, with the company later revealing that 5.9 million credit card numbers were among the millions of pieces of data that potentially had been accessed. By July 2018, the number of customer records that had been compromised was revealed to have amounted to far more than had at first been thought, being at least 10 million.

Can I make a Dixons data breach claim?

If you are one of the 10 million Dixons customers who have been affected by the data breach you are entitled to claim compensation. Anyone whose personal data was part of the hack should have been notified by Dixons in 2018.

We can put you in contact with expert data breach solicitors who are putting together a collective group claim that will bring together a large number of Dixons customers. If you were a customer of Dixons between the dates of the hack it is possible you were part of the data breach, even if you did not see or receive a notification about it at the time, so it is still worth getting in touch with us.

Compensation is payable not only for specific financial or other losses you have experienced but also for any distress caused by the data breach which could have left you exposed to the risk of fraudulent activity.

Frequently asked questionsQuestions we are frequently asked by our users

Why should I make a data breach claim against Dixons?

Customers have the right to expect that any personal or financial data that they have shared with an organisation, such as Dixons, is securely stored and handled. When data protection standards have fallen short, and in this case a hack has enabled unauthorised access to your personal data, you can make a claim for compensation.

In this case the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) investigation found that there were “systemic failures” in the way Dixons Carphone, under its full name Dixon Stores Group Retail Limited, looked after its customer data. It stated that the loss of that data was likely to have caused distress to many people since the data breach left them exposed to increased risk of fraud. 

The poor security arrangements and inadequate steps taken to protect customer data, lead the ICO to fine Dixons Carphone Warehouse £500,000 in January 2020. The previous year, the ICO fined Carphone Warehouse, part of the same group, £400,000 for similar security vulnerabilities.
