Dow Jones suffers data breach; says fewer than 3,500 affected

Fresh off a data breach at Experian that exposed the information of T-Mobile applicants, Dow Jones -- part of News Corp. (NWS -0.6%, NWSA -1.5%) and publisher of The Wall Street Journal -- has suffered a breach that exposed data as well.
An intruder gained information, and possibly payment card info, for fewer than 3,500 people at certain times between August 2012 and July 2015.
The company said law enforcement officials informed it about the prospect of a breach in late July, and that the focus of the attack appeared to be on obtaining contact information.
