Dominion Enterprises today announced that a computer server within
InterActive Financial Marketing Group (IFMG), a division of Dominion
Enterprises located in Richmond, Virginia, was hacked into and illegally
accessed by an unknown and unauthorized third party between November 2007
and February 2008.

The data intrusion resulted in the potential exposure of personal
information, including the names, addresses, birth dates, and social
security numbers of 92,095 applicants who submitted credit applications to
IFMG's family of special finance Web sites.

Dominion Enterprises is mailing letters to the individuals whose personal
information it can determine was illegally accessed. The company is
offering one full year of free credit monitoring services to all affected
parties, and has provided information about additional resources where
consumers can learn how to help protect themselves from identity theft.
