LONDON (Alliance News) - Tesco has deactivated some customers' net accounts after their login names and passwords were shared online, the BBC reported Friday.
The list of more than 2,000 Tesco.com accounts was posted to a popular text-sharing site on Thursday, the BBC said, quoting the supermarket saying the data had been compiled by hackers using details stolen from other sites.
Tesco told the BBC it was "urgently investigating" the appearance of the data.
