Attorney General Lisa Madigan is making businesses and others in the state aware that the federal government reports that more than one-thousand businesses have been hit by hackers. She says businesses that have been compromised are required to contact their customers to let them know their personal data has been breached. Madigan says Illinoisans can protect their personal and financial information by setting up transaction alerts on their accounts, reviewing bank and credit card statements and reviewing credit reports for unauthorized accounts.
