Major Scottrade Leak Threatens Stock Traders
Robert Lemos writes on SecurityFocus:
Online trading company Scottrade has warned its customers that data thieves compromised the systems of its electronic checking provider last month, resulting in a major leak of personal information.
The financial services company said in a statement dated November 11 that its eCheck Secure service provider TROY Group had acknowledged being compromised. However, at least some Scottrade clients did not get a notice about the breach until last week, according to posts on FatWallet.
"On October 25, 2005, Troy Group ... reported to us that a computer hacker had compromised its eCheck Secure servers," Scottrade stated in its letter. "As a result, some of your personal information, including your name, driver's license or state ID number, date of birth, phone number, bank name, bank code, bank number, bank routing number, bank account number and Scottrade account number may have been compromised."
