Thieves Break Into a Personal ‘Data Vault’ Company
A company that describes itself as a vault for personal data has suffered an embarrassing heist: intruders penetrated its computer system and looted its customers’ names, addresses and in some cases, dates of birth and login passwords. The company, Reputation.com, based in Redwood City, CA, told customers in an e-mail sent around 5 p.m. Pacific time last Tuesday that it had detected a breach into its system and immediately reset customer passwords. It does not believe credit card information was taken. LivingSocial and Evernote experienced similar breaches in recent months.
