Once again, it looks like the hackers are making news. According to recent a recent report, Dominion Enterprises announced that a computer server of InterActive Financial Marketing Group, a division of Dominion Enterprises, was hacked into and accessed by an unknown party. The breach took place between November 2007 and February 2008, and the result was the potential exposure of personal information (names, addresses, birth dates, Social Security numbers, etc.) of more than 90,000 applicants.
Dominion Enterprises is currently mailing letters to those whose information was illegally accessed. The company is also providing one year of credit monitoring service as well as other resources to help consumers protect themselves against identity theft.
While the company has taken immediate steps to enhance the security of their computer systems, the damage may already be done. Obviously, they have no way of knowing at this point of the breach has resulted in identity theft.
