The suspects gained access to a database used by credit-reporting agency Experian, Local 4 reported. Ford is now warning customers with credit accounts to watch for theft or any suspicious activity on monthly account statements. The suspects downloaded information on 13,000 people from Experian. About 400 of them were Ford Credit customers and about 610 of the victims lived in Michigan. Too bad my problems are with Trans Union and Equifax.
