ATTORNEY GENERAL SETTLES WITH MID-ATLANTIC PROCESSING
Citybizlist Real Estate –Baltimore, Maryland
 
May 10, 2010- Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler recently settled with MAP, LLC, a payment processing company charged with the improper disposal of 77 boxes of confidential information found in a dumpster.
 
"Mid Atlantic Processing did not take the required steps to safeguard the privacy of their customers' personal information, making them vulnerable to identity theft," said Attorney General Gansler. "When a business disposes of its client records that contain personal consumer information, it needs to shred the records or take other steps necessary to ensure that a consumer's privacy is not compromised."
 
The company and its officers agreed to a $20,000 fine.
