The LexisNexis online information service is warning 32,000 people that their personal information may have been improperly accessed in a credit card fraud scheme that postal officials say bilked hundreds.
New York-based LexisNexis said former customers of the service might have viewed information including names, birth dates and Social Security numbers.
U.S. Postal Service officials have launched a criminal investigation and say 300 people in the databases of LexisNexis and a Santa Fe, N.M., company called Investigative Professionals were victims in the credit card fraud scheme.
