: Caveat EmptorWait, now mortgage lenders are stealing identities?
By Sam Glover

Apparently, some former LendingTree employees helped some unnamed mortgage lenders to hack into the LendingTree system and steal information for LendingTree customers from 2006 to early 2008.
LendingTree notified all the consumers affected, and has beefed up its security, but is not offering credit monitoring or any other consolatory compensation to those affected.
