Tesco has been forced to suspend more than 2,000 customer accounts after hackers posted their details online.

 

Cyber thieves then used the login details to steal Clubcard vouchers, the supermarket giant admitted.

 

A list of thousands of usernames and passwords was posted by hackers on a text-sharing website .

 

It is thought the data was taken from other websites in high-profile security breaches and used to access Tesco.com customer accounts to steal Clubcard points, with 2,239 hits where the same usernames and passwords were used.

 

But only a "handful" of people are understood to have actually suffered theft of their Clubcard vouchers, as secondary security information was needed to fully access the accounts.

 

Tesco has now deactivated the affected accounts as a precaution and is contacting all customers impacted, pledging to reimburse those who have lost out.

Although this only affects a tiny percentage of Tesco's 16 million Clubcard holders, even if you've not been affected, it's worth considering changing your password
