http://www.sj-r.com/sections/news/stories/114739.asp The state's professional-regulation department is notifying roughly 300,000 licensees and applicants that a computer server with some of their personal data was breached early this year, a spokeswoman for the agency said Friday. Potentially at risk for identity theft are banking and real-estate professionals whose licensing information - including addresses, tax numbers and Social Security numbers - were kept on the storage server, said Sue Hofer, spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. The individuals will receive letters advising them how to monitor their credit histories to determine if they have been victimized, she said, adding that it will take about a week to get all the letters out.
