CeX Hacked and 2 Million Customers’ Data Stolen

Electronics retailer CeX has been hacked, and up to 2 million customers may be affected.

In an online statement, the British second-hand goods company warned that it has “recently been subject to an online security breach,” and that “as a precautionary measure we are contacting up to two million of our registered website customers who could potentially be affected.

Data stolen includes names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and encrypted data from credit and debit cards (these are expired and the data is from 2009 and earlier, it says).

The firm is also recommending that affected customers change their passwords if they reused it across multiple accounts and services.
