The parent company of Inc. and Fast Company magazines was hacked by someone who took employee information, reports Keith Kelly of the New York Post.
Kelly writes, “The hackers have already used the illegally obtained information to file fraudulent federal and state tax returns, one worker said.
“Employees are not happy.
“‘I am irate,’ said one affected staffer. ‘Tax filings on the state-local [level] have been filed under my Social Security number. People are put off as to why they have to spend their own time and resources to begin to rectify this.’
“Staffers also cannot imagine how a company of Mansueto’s magnitude would not have proper security tools in place.
“The task of alerting workers to the hack has fallen to Chief Financial Officer Mark Rosenberg.
“The employees are worried that 401(k)s and credit cards could also be hit.”
