Reed Elsevier has announced that its LexisNexis legal information business has found several instances of possibly fraudulent access to its Seisint unit and its database of personal information on US citizens. The breaches may have exposed data on over 32,000 individuals, including names, addresses, social security and drivers’ license numbers, but not credit, medical, or financial histories. LexisNexis plans to notify those affected by the breach, offer credit monitoring service to guard against identity theft, and improve its preventive measures by strengthening password administration and investing more resource in privacy protection. Seisint provides identity authentication services to law enforcement, homeland security, and private sector customers to protect against fraud and identity theft. LexisNexis is working with law enforcement to investigate the incidents.
