Computerworld .com ( and a host of other media) reported Friday that Lexis Nexis
acknowledged Friday that criminals used its information retrieval service for more than three years to gather data that was used to commit credit card fraud.
LexisNexis has started warning about 32,000 people that "a few" customers used its service to help them illegally obtain credit cards. "These individuals were operating businesses that at one time were both ChoicePoint and LexisNexis customers," the company said in a notification letter that it began sending out Friday.
