Published



BOSTON (Legal Newsline) – TD Bank reached a settlement with Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley on Monday after allegedly losing unencrypted back-up tapes with personal information for 90,000 customers and failing to promptly notify the consumers.

Two back-up tapes were lost in March 2012 when the tapes were being transferred by courier from the bank’s Haverhill location to its Springfield location. The tapes included addresses, Social Security numbers, names, account numbers and other personal information for the bank’s customers.
