MoneyGram Customer Information Hacked

About 79,000 MoneyGram customers are being notified that their personal information may have been accessed last month.

The company said that it had not been able to determine if any information was actually stolen, but the company was notifying customers that someone may have viewed their personal data.

The information involved did not include Social Security or driver’s license numbers. It did include the names, addresses, phone numbers — and in some cases — the bank account numbers of MoneyGram customers.

Affected customers are being offered one year’s subscription to a credit monitoring service.
