Attorney General Conway Seeks Information About Zappos.com Data Breach
Attorney General Conway is joining the attorneys generals from nine other states in seeking information about the recent data breach at Zappos.com, Inc. that affected more than 24 million customers nationwide. In a letter written by Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen to Zappos.com, the attorneys general ask the online retailer to provide details about the company's actions in response to the breach and its efforts to protect consumers' sensitive information.
"News of a data security breach is always a concern for consumers who risk having their identities stolen and personal financial accounts compromised," General Conway said. "We believe it is important to ask companies about the adequacy of their security practices and to ensure they are doing all they can to notify consumers in the event of an online security breach."| More information
Consumer Protection Alert
Agreement with Student Loan Xpress, Inc.
Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway announced an agreement with Student Loan Xpress, Inc. (SLX) that will result in an estimated $3.6 million reduction in the loan obligations for students who attended a now bankrupt West Kentucky law school.
"I am pleased we were able to conclude this investigation by getting significant loan forgiveness for students," General Conway said. "As we investigated this case over many months, we found dozens of students who were obligated to pay thousands of dollars in student loans for academic credits that didn't transfer. The lender also charged fees when it said it would not and required loan repayment when students were entitled to deferments because they were still in school. There was an overall pattern of abuse by the lender that ignored federal and state consumer protection requirements and put students in a financial bind before they even started their careers." | More information
