But depending on what state the victims live in, it's illegal to NOT disclose it. TO FEEDBURNER: 25 states have data breach notification laws. 10 of those do NOT require that information be materially compromised or likelihood of harm before notification required. I don't know the details, but you may be required to disclose this in writing to many of your customers regardless. If you need help (no charge), contact me at tfragala [at] gmail.com. Nickel--what state do you live in? Pogue,

If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it myself but he is in fact the person who has that SSN. Don't bother signing up for any credit cards, I tried and was declined three times. His credit is awful. Nickel’s social security number is… get a pen now… 123-45-6789.

Check out the FTC's page on id theft: http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft/ and check your credit report (you get one copy free from the govt each year from each credit agency at www.annualcreditreport.com). Get a copy of one now, and another one in 3-6 months and make sure nothing fishy is going on. Best of luck, pogue That’s probably not only a breach of their own privacy policy, but could be illegal depending on what state you live in.
