Online credit card databases illegally accessed

ZixIt officials said that someone illegally accessed credit card databases at its independent subsidiary Anacom Communications, an online credit card processing service provider. "At this stage, we have not determined the extent of the potential damage, but we have taken all appropriate steps to prevent further access to customer data," said ZixIt president and chief executive David Cook Wednesday. ZixIt management notified all credit card companies of credit card accounts that may have been improperly accessed.
