"We have been made aware of an incident at Carphone Warehouse and are making enquiries," an ICO spokesperson told the BBC.
The breach was revealed on Saturday after first being identified by the company on Wednesday, leading some customers to criticise its slow response in alerting people to the security issue.
The number of data breaches reported to the ICO has increased 12 per cent year-on-year.
