LendingTree recently discovered that several former employees may have misappropriated passwords that allowed access into LendingTree's files containing customer information. They believed that these former employees provided the passwords to three lenders who were not authorized
to access LendingTree's customer information. Those three lenders used the passwords to access loan request information to which they were not entitled, and the lenders then solicited the LcndingTree customers for mortgage loans.
