6. I just read that like ChoicePoint, Acxiom had a huge amount of

data stolen. But maybe I missed your original posts on this subject and that's what led you to start calling. Sorry if it's old news to you.

From LA Times, at the bottom of the article:

ChoicePoint isn't the only information broker to have been penetrated in recent years.

A Boca Raton, Fla., man was charged last year with obtaining bank, credit card and other data on millions of individuals through ChoicePoint rival Acxiom Corp. of Little Rock, Ark.

Federal prosecutors say Scott Levine, who headed an e-mail marketing company, planned to incorporate the information in his firm's services. But the prosecutors say they have no evidence that Levine or others rang up fraudulent charges.
