There is some misinformation being circulated regarding this issue. Choicepoints database was not hacked in this situation. Choicepoint was victimized by frauds who opened what appeared to be legitimate client accounts and through that means requested data on individuals, much like BSA does when they do our background checks. I see no means by where National would be liable in this matter as they are a client of Choicepoint. The specific information the frauds inquired upon was relative to victims they were targeting, not groups who had made legitimate inquiries.
