Doug Harbrecht, the company’s director of new media, said the attackers stole user names, passwords and encrypted credit card numbers from as many as 142,000 subscribers to the magazine or the company’s various newsletters, including the Kiplinger Letter. Harbrecht said the two-week delay in notifying customers resulted from efforts to understand the extent of the break-in by “an unidentified third party,” as the Kiplinger website described the intruders. He said the company notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is working with the agency on a probe of the incident. “Part of the problem is we still don’t know exactly what the hackers got,” Harbrecht said in a phone interview. An e- mail sent to Kiplinger customers said the hacker may have accessed e-mail addresses as well as other personal information.
