I received a letter in the mail yesterday that an employee of this company
stole and sold personal information to a data broker.

On the site above, if you listen to the press release the company states that not all information was stolen. The letter I received says "The information included certain checking account and credit/debit card data including name, address, telephone number, account number, expiration date (for credit/debit cards) and, in some checking account cases, transactional data and date of birth."

The employee has been fired, the company is working with law enforcement officials for possible criminal prosecution. The company has filed a law suit according to their press release but will not disclose who has my info as well as the other 2+ million people. The company is saying watch your credit info and possibly put a security credit freeze with the 3 main credit agencies.

I am adding another post to this because it just pisses me off that my info. was stolen and I did nothing wrong. I saw on the list
if you write a check to a casino.......If I go to a casino I use cash. The info they have from me is from my checking account (it is in the letter).
I only write checks to pay my utility bills, real estate taxes, the IRS, and a few others. I put everything on my credit cards and pay them off in
full so I make money from them. I don't pay interest (except for my house)

I do appreciate that the company involved made the information of what happened public. I do not like that they won't disclose the names of the
other companies who paid for this information.
