A flaw on supermarket Asda’s website gave hackers the chance to collect customers’ personal information and payment details, the BBC has learned.
The US-owned retail firm, which processes hundreds of thousands of online orders each week, could have put millions of transactions at risk, security expert Paul Moore estimates.
He first noticed the issue in March 2014 and contacted Asda to report it.
Asda said it had now fixed the problem and no customers had been affected.
The firm, whose website is run by US retail giant Walmart, told the BBC: “Asda and Walmart take the security of our websites very seriously. We are aware of the issue and have implemented changes to improve the security on our website.” For the full article click here
