(NYSE:FIS) believes a former employee stole 8.5 million consumer records from the check authorizing company, more than 3 times the original estimate, according to a regulatory filing Wednesday. In Wednesday's Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Fidelity said about 5.7 million of the records included checking account information and about 1.5 million included credit card records. The new estimate is an increase of about 3.5 million checking account records and about 1.4 million credit card records over original projections. The company said it continues to believe that the records were only used for marketing purposes.
