State Street warns former employees, customers of Investors Financial Services data was stolen

NEW YORK (Associated Press) - Financial services firm State Street Corp. said Thursday the personal data of some employees and customers of Investors Financial Services was stolen from a vendor's facility, but there is no evidence data has been used.

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 Web site to provide customers and employees more information.

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