Mexican Officials Arrested Over Privacy Leak
Mexican officials have arrested three men affiliated with U.S.-based database company ChoicePoint and are considering charging them with treason. The three men allegedly provided information on 65 million Mexican voters, likely obtained illegally, to ChoicePoint, which then resold the information to the U.S. government. ChoicePoint, one of the largest providers of databases in the world, was contracted by the government to obtain the information shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.
