A hacker attack at payroll processing firm Ceridian Corp. of
Bloomington has potentially revealed the names, Social Security
numbers, and, in some cases, the birth dates and bank accounts of
27,000 employees working at 1,900 companies nationwide.

In a Jan. 29 letter to an affected worker obtained by the Star
Tribune, Ceridian said a hacker attacked its Internet payroll system
Dec. 22 and 23.

Spokesman Keith Peterson said the breach was reported to the FBI and
local authorities immediately, but affected consumers weren't notified
until this week that they were at financial risk.
