Data Breach Alert: U.S. Postal Inspection Service and LexisNexis
May 6th, 2009 - Posted by Caitlin
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is in the process of notifying more than 30,000 people that their personal information may have been compromised in a data breach executed by businesses that are former LexisNexis customers. These thieves used personal information from LexisNexis and broke into mail boxes at commerical mail-receiving businesses in order to obtain fraudulant credit cards. The personal data was probably accessed between June 14, 2004 and October 10, 2007. At least 300 people have definitely been impacted, and the rest are thought to be vulnerable.
LexisNexis is offering all 30,000 individuals whose identities may have been compromised a free year of credit monitoring by ConsumerInfo.com.
