In business news, the data management company Lexis Nexis has admitted that hackers accessed one of the company’s databases and gained access to the personal files of as many as 32,000. LexisNexis collects detailed personal information on almost everyone in the country. The information compromised included names, addresses, Social Security and driver’s license numbers. The company also collects credit history, medical records and other financial information but claims this information was not accessed. Last month another data collection company ChoicePoint accidentally sold the personal information of as many as 145,000 Americans to fraudsters engaged in an identity theft scheme.
