LexisNexis victim of large mafia bust

LexisNexis, a large information broker in the United States, has fallen victim to a security breach after a mafia member bust.

Two men, Lee Klein and Yomi Jagunna have been arrested after accessing the LexisNexis database and compromising over 13,000 accounts in the system. They were charged with fraud after securing Social Security numbers and selling them to other mafia members for $30 each.

Klein was arrested for providing the Bonanno crime family with names, addresses and account numbers for a fake check-cashing operation, and Jagunna was part of an 8-man identity theft ring.

Notification letters have been sent out to LexisNexis customers making them aware of this incident and how to monitor your credit for any unusual or suspicious activity.
