On an almost daily basis, major brands seem to be getting hit by huge hacks. It is easy to feel helpless, and really there is little that customers can do about the attacks themselves – but plenty you can do to limit the danger they pose.
In recent weeks, everyone from the owner of Hobbs to Asos have been caught up in high-profile cyber attacks, and many other major brands have been hit in recent times. In many of those hacks, customers’ personal information has been put at risk, meaning that the danger is not just for the companies or their employees but potentially anyone who has shopped with them in the past.
