ChoicePoint Data Stolen By Imposters
swight1701 writes "Criminals posing as legitimate businesses have accessed critical personal data stored by ChoicePoint Inc., a firm that maintains databases of background information on virtually every U.S. citizen. The incident involves a wide swath of consumer data, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, credit reports and other information. ChoicePoint notified between 30,000 and 35,000 consumers in California that their personal data may have been accessed by "unauthorized third parties." No obvious notice appears to be on their website."
My credit is so poor that stealing my identiy is only going to hurt them. I mean they think they are gettign a free ride, but when Rocko breaks down their door looking for past due payments boy will they be in for a suprise, hell this might be the best thing to ever happen to me!
C'mon! Does every story on /. have to be about Micro$oft?
you had me at #!
I highly doubt they would refuse to report that data had been stolen from other states, just because they don't have do.
They're only criminals because they didn't pay for their access, duh. ;)
