The RCMP and Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of British Columbia are investigating allegations of a possible data breach involving the bankrupt computer retailer NCIX.

In doing so, it may have compromised the security of countless customers.
According to a statement from Richmond RCMP, the case was opened Thursday and police have seized the servers.
