Eir, the fixed, mobile and broadband telecommunications company of Ireland, has suffered a data breach this week.

Personal details of 37,000 Eir customers have been exposed according to the telecommunications company.

The root cause of the data leak is the theft offsite of an unencrypted laptop containing the customers’ data. Exposed records include names, email addresses, phone numbers and Eir account numbers.

“In this case the laptop had been decrypted by a faulty security update the previous working day, which had affected a subset of our laptops and was subsequently resolved.”
