LexisNexis Says Thieves May Have Taken Data on Consumers
By TOM ZELLER Jr.
Published: March 9, 2005
In yet another apparent theft of consumers' personal data, the LexisNexis Group, a major compiler of legal and consumer information, said today that about 30,000 of its records - including names, addresses and Social Security numbers of individuals - may have fallen into the hands of thieves.
The announcement follows the recent disclosure several other cases of the loss or theft of consumer data. ChoicePoint, another leading data broker, said last month that it had inadvertently sold the records of more than 140,000 individuals to con artists. And Bank of America said more recently that backup computer tapes containing information on more than a million of its customers had been lost.
