Dominion Enterprises today announced that a computer server within 
InterActive Financial Marketing Group (IFMG), a division of Dominion 
Enterprises located in Richmond, Virginia, was hacked into and illegally 
accessed by an unknown and unauthorized third party between November 2007 
and February 2008.

The data intrusion resulted in the potential exposure of personal 
information, including the names, addresses, birth dates, and social 
security numbers of 92,095 applicants who submitted credit applications to 
IFMG's family of special finance Web sites.

Dominion Enterprises is mailing letters to the individuals whose personal 
information it can determine was illegally accessed. The company is 
offering one full year of free credit monitoring services to all affected 
parties, and has provided information about additional resources where 
consumers can learn how to help protect themselves from identity theft.
