Attorney General Coakley victim of identity theft

BOSTON -- New Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley admits to an identity crisis of sorts.

She says she's the victim of identity theft and she is taking the security breach personally.

Framingham-based retailer TJX is the latest company to have had its customer information compromised.

Potential victims number in the millions.

The thief used Coakley's information to buy a Dell computer.

Coakley says the system needs improving.

The customer data was hacked from a TJX computer system in mid-December.

If you think your private information may have been stolen, call the TJX help line.

The number is 1-866-484-6978.
