No customer data was exposed after the firm behind Asda Car Insurance was hacked, said the broker as it explained why the ACI website went offline earlier this week.
Reg reader and Asda Car Insurance customer Arthur forwarded us a notice he received from Brightside Group, who provide white label insurance products for Asda and others, explaining why the ACI website had been taken down as a security precaution.
 
We represent Brightside Group which manages a number of motor insurance websites – this includes Asda Car Insurance which you are or have been a valued customer of.
Despite security measures, on 29/9/14 an individual was able to access a small number of internal business records via our website. We immediately took the website down and initiated a complete investigation.
