A data breach at retailer Sports Direct last year was reported to the Information Commissioner’s Office but not to staff whose data may have been compromised, according to reports.The ICO confirmed to the BBC that it was “aware of an incident” and was making enquiries.According to technology website The Register, the breach in September saw employees’ unencrypted data stolen.A spokesman for Sports Direct would not be drawn on the details of the breach.”We cannot comment on operational matters in relation to cybersecurity for obvious reasons,” he told the BBC.”It is our policy to continually upgrade and improve our systems, and where appropriate we keep the relevant authorities informed,” he added.The Register was told by “an inside source” that a hacker had attacked a system that Sports Direct used to run a staff portal.New regulations coming from the EU will require companies to declare a data breach within 72 hours.
