    Data Processors International Inc., a credit card transaction processing
    firm, confirmed Wednesday that its customer databases have been hacked
    by "an unauthorized outside party" and that it remains unclear whether
    hackers nabbed useable data, according to a company spokesman.

    The Secret Service and the FBI advised DPI against speaking publicly
    about such issues as which vendor's or vendors' databases were targeted.
    Citing customer confidentiality, spokeswomen for the three major
    database vendors-Microsoft Corp., Oracle Corp. and IBM-said that it was
    unlikely that they would state whether DPI runs its business on their
    respective databases. They had not responded to requests to identify DPI
    as a customer by the time this story went to press.
