Online thieves get personal information on 310,000 in US
0 Comments | AFP, April, 2005
NEW YORK (AFP) — Some 310,000 people could have lost their personal identification data to online thieves who broke into the computers of leading US information broker LexisNexis, the company said.
The number was nearly 10 times that reported when the computer break-in was first revealed a month ago by the company, a subsidiary of the Anglo-Dutch publishing group Reed Elsevier.
On March 9 LexisNexis announced that thieves using stolen passwords had penetrated the computer files of its recently-acquired Seisint unit, obtaining information on the accounts of approximately 32,000 customers.
However, on Tuesday the company conceded that data files for as many as 310,000 people had been illegally accessed in 59 separate incidents.
