MINNEAPOLIS — A company that guarantees federal student loans said Friday that personal data on about 3.3 million people nationwide has been stolen from its headquarters in Minnesota.
Educational Credit Management Corp., a contractor for the U.S. Department of Education, said the data included names, addresses, Social Security numbers and dates of birth of borrowers but no financial or bank account information.
ECMC said it has arranged with credit-reporting agency Experian to provide affected borrowers with free credit monitoring and protection services.
