Carphone Warehouse Hackers May Have DDoS-ed Firm
"Hackers who stole personal and financial data from over two million Carphone Warehouse customers may have fired a DDoS attack at the firm’s network prior to that event, according to a new report.
An anonymous source “with knowledge of the attack” told The Telegraph that the attackers bombarded the Carphone Warehouse’s IT systems with traffic in the run up to the data grab – possibly to distract the IT team."
