[snip] Automatic Data Processing, the payroll processor, on Friday said hackers stole business contact information about clients from a third-party database and were now sending bogus and potentially harmful e-mails. ADP said the information taken did not contain social security numbers, bank accounts, passwords or confidential data. ADP said its own systems were not attacked. However, the stolen e-mail addresses were being used to send bogus e-mails that look like they have a valid ADP address. The fictitious e-mails, which began appearing about 24 hours earlier on Thursday, have "malicious" attachments and are believed to have been sent to compromise data of the recipients, ADP said.
