Florida's Attorney General Bill McCollum has reached a settlement with Certegy Check Services over a data breach that happened three years ago.
The settlement is over allegations the company didn't have adequate data security for consumer records. The St. Petersburg-based company experienced a massive data breach exposing personal data from about 5.9 million consumer files. Under the settlement, the company agrees to ensure that safeguards are in place to protect consumer data.
Certegy Check Services Inc., a related company, Fidelity National Card Services, and subsidiaries of Fidelity National Information Services Inc., reported in July 2007 that customer records were stolen by a former company employee.
