LendingTree mortgage files hacked, is your information at risk?

I just read an article that former employees from Lending Tree helped unauthorized mortgage companies hack into its database to steal customer information. This occoured from 2006 to 2008. This just goes to show you how aggressive the industry is for mortgages and what lengths people will go to for a buck. A good mortgage lead can sell for up to $75 or more. We are probably talking about millions of dollars worth of stolen leads.

If you were a LendingTree.com customer during this time you may want to put a fraud alert on your credit report.
