TD Ameritrade last Thursday sent messages to all of its 6.3 million customers disclosing that their names, addresses, and email addresses had potentially been stolen through a hidden bit of malware. The brokerage said it had discovered the problem during the previous few weeks and that it had removed the malicious code. Users’ Social Security information, which resides on the database, had not been touched, and there was “no evidence” that the stolen data had been used for identity theft. For almost a year, those customers were left in the dark, not knowing their personal information was at risk.”]
