In Massachusetts the Divisions of Professional Licensure and Health Professions Licensure sent out information to marketing firms and other businesses containing the personal data, including Social Security numbers, of 450,000 licensed professionals.

The Division of Professional Licensure notified both the secretary of state and the office of the attorney general about the breach, and has begun notifying all affected individuals.

Affected individuals include engineers, nursing home administrators, certified public accountants and other professionals.

Individuals who feel they may have been affected can contact the Division of Professional Licensure.
