LONDON - Publisher and data broker Reed Elsevier Group PLC said Tuesday that
up to 10 times as many people as originally thought may have had their
profiles stolen from one of its U.S. databases.
The company reported last month that intruders may have accessed personal
details of 32,000 people via a breach of its legal and business information
service LexisNexis' recently acquired Seisint unit. It now says that figure
is closer to 310,000 people.
