State Street says personal data have been stolen

Financial services firm State Street Corp. today said that the personal data of some employees and customers of Investors Financial Services was stolen from a vendor's facility, but there is no evidence that data have been used.

Boston-based State Street acquired Investors Financial Services, a provider of investment services to hedge funds, in July 2007.

Customers and employees of Investors Financial Services are being notified of the data breach, and State Street set up a page on its website to provide customers and employees more information.

State Street said it will provide those with data stolen free credit monitoring services for two years. (AP)
