Taiwanese PC maker Acer is investigating a hacker attack that stole customer data from its Packard Bell unit in Europe, the company said.

Acer said the security breach was limited to customers' names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and system serial numbers. No credit card data was stolen, it said. Acer provided no other information about the attack, and said the investigation was still under way.

News of the breach was reported earlier this month, after a hacker group called Pakistan Cyber Army claimed to have stolen the personal data of about 40,000 people from an Acer server in Europe. Acer did not comment on the attack at the time.
