How can we help you?

Informing you about a cyber-security incident


  1.       Can you tell me what happened? Does it relate to me?

On November 3rd, we detected illegal access by hackers to one of our employees email accounts, which gave them access to some of our internal systems. Please be assured that we continue to service all of our customers as normal. We have found no evidence that credit card information or customer passwords were accessed.

We have discovered that information relating to a small number of our customers has been affected. We have contacted directly all customers whose personal information has been impacted and will extend all necessary support to those customers. .

In line with best practice in response to these unfortunately increasing occurrences globally, Ding has notified the Irish Data Protection Commissioner of this incident. 

In response to this incident Ding immediately activated its cyber incident response and commenced a forensic investigation,  which is ongoing.
