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.
