Just one month later, the Currys PC World/Dixons Travel hack would have cost them a heck of a lot more

Hackers planted malware onto 5,390 point-of-sale payment tills at Currys PC World and Dixons Travel stores. Hackers had stolen personal data records of 1.2 million individuals and 5.6 million payment card details. DSG Retail was fined 500,000 this week by the Information Commissioner’s Office. But the fine could have been much worse for DSG if the hack had gone unnoticed for just one more month. On May 25 2018 (just one month after the hack of the POS terminals was spotted) the EUs GDPR legislation came into law.”]
