Some customers of a Cleveland based bank got their information stolen by hackers. KeyBank says hackers stole personal data including social security numbers, addresses, and account numbers of an unspecified number of its home mortgage customers. It says the data was lost in the breach of the Georgia Insurance Services Company, Overby-Seawall, and compromised the data of its corporate clients. A letter sent to an affected KeyBank customer said the data was stolen July 5th. KeyBank operates in 15 states and has close to $200 billion in assets.

But Rob Portman still has some concerns and has been working through the Senate’s Homeland Security committee to pass an amendment that would increase funding to continuously monitor cloud system for hacking threats.
