Customers of Play.com have been left open to spam fraud after one of the online retailer's suppliers suffered a data breach.
Play.com wrote to users on Monday outlining the problem, which it said may have exposed e-mail addresses, but not credit card details.
"We are e-mailing all our customers to let you know that a company that handles part of our marketing communications has had a security breach," said the message. "Unfortunately this has meant that some customer names and e-mail addresses may have been compromised."
