Diane Bartz of Reuters reports that a hacking of Kiplinger’s database occurred last month.
She writes that hackers “broke into its database and accessed information about 142,000 customers, including possibly 43,000 encrypted credit card numbers.
“The hack was discovered on June 25, and affected online subscribers as well as those who have print subscriptions, the company said in a statement.
“‘We believe that about 43,000 encrypted credit cards that were in our database may have been accessed,’ said Doug Harbrecht, director of new media.
“Kiplinger has notified customers and the FBI but does not know who was behind the hack, said Harbrecht.”
