Scottrade Breach Hits 4.6 Million Customers
http://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/10/scottrade-breach-hits-4-6-million-customers/
In an email sent today to customers, St. Louis-based
Scottrade said it recently heard from federal law enforcement
officials about crimes involving the theft of information from
Scottrade and other financial services companies. "Based upon
our subsequent internal investigation coupled with information
provided by the authorities, we believe a list of client names
and street addresses was taken from our system," the email
notice reads. "Importantly, we have no reason to believe that
Scottrade's trading platforms or any client funds were
compromised. All client passwords remained encrypted at all
times and we have not seen any indication of fraudulent activity
as a result of this incident."
