Kiplinger Warns Customers Hackers Got Account, Credit Card Information

Posted on July 8, 2011 by Dissent

Michael Riley reports:

Kiplinger Washington Editors Inc., the publisher of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, is warning customers that account data, including credit card numbers, was stolen on June 25 by hackers who breached its computer network.

Doug Harbrecht, the company’s director of new media, said the attackers stole user names, passwords and encrypted credit card numbers from as many as 142,000 subscribers to the magazine or the company’s various newsletters, including the Kiplinger Letter.

Note: It took me a while, but I found their FAQ on the breach.  Bloomberg’s coverage isn’t wholly accurate, perhaps, as the FAQ indicates that Kiplinger’s discovered the hack on June 25. They don’t actually say when it occurred.
