"At this point, [Infosys] are unable to determine with certainty what personal information was accessed as a result of this incident," the insurer noted in a letter[PDF] sent to customers. In other words: Potentially everything needed to drain a ton of people's bank accounts, pull off any number of identity theft-related scams -- or at least go on a massive online shopping spree.
