TransUnion has sent letters to consumers alerting them to a recent data breach
that compromised a wide array of their personal and financial information.



On Monday, TransUnion reported a data breach with the Massachusetts Attorney
General. It currently isn't known how many people were affected in the breach.

According to JDSupra, TransUnion said that the breach resulted in names, full
Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, and complete driver's
license numbers being compromised.

TransUnion has sent letters to all affected parties with instructions to help
protect themselves from identity theft and fraud.

Yay. Maybe we’ll get free credit monitoring services for the next year like
Experian did following their data breach.

Oh good, another pitiful settlement coming.

for 20 years.

It will take someone "important" to get hurt financially before any kind of real
action will ever be taken against these negligent companies.
