"Guidance Software -- the leading provider of software used to diagnose hacker break-ins --
has itself been hacked, resulting in the exposure of financial and personal data connected
to thousands of law enforcement officials and network-security professionals.
Guidance alerted customers to the incident in a letter sent last week, saying it discovered on
Dec. 7 that hackers had broken into a company database and made off with approximately 3,800
customer credit card numbers. The Pasadena, Calif.-based company said the incident occurred
sometime in November and that it is working with the U.S. Secret Service on a more detailed investigation.
