DC-based publisher Kiplinger has alerted its customers that hackers
stole their login, personal and, in some cases, financial information
from the company's database.

The incident occurred on around June 25, but the company took two
weeks to notify affected individuals because it waited for the results
of an internal investigation.

The data breach affected around 142,000 paid subscribers of the
monthly Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and the company's
various newsletters, The Kiplinger Letter, The Kiplinger Tax Letter or
The Kiplinger Agriculture Letter.
