Carphone Warehouse hacked

[gregg1100]

Carphone Warehouse has been hacked- affecting 2+ million accounts.
Cloud insecurities again, perhaps. Very little of my stuff up there- don't trust it at all.
Better to keep everything at ground level on an SD card- if you can find a phone maker that hasn't ditched them for so called secure servers.
The story renders security of data as a very poor joke.

that is precisely why I refuse to store anything in the Cloud...

Especially files that I work with.

Pictures, yeah, Photobucket, etc....
but never any of my personal documents... never, but never ever.
their server goes down, you are screwed.
you loose the internet, you are screwed.

"hard copy on my hard drives only" or SD card.

Carphone Warehouse has been hacked- affecting 2+ million accounts.

Three online subsidiary websites were attacked, potentially affecting 2+ million customers.

Cloud insecurities again, perhaps.

Nope, looks like good old-fashioned criminal hacking - see here
