Via Businessweek.com.

MoneyGram International Inc., a global payment services provider, announced Friday that a company server with consumer information for about 79,000 bill payment customers was unlawfully accessed over the Internet 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.

State and federal regulations required that customers be notified, the company said.
