A firm specializing in the tracking of car buying has settled charges with New Jersey’s attorney general after it was accused of using code to identify websites visited by its customers without their knowledge or consent and selling the harvested data, InformationWeek reports. At least 181,000 consumers were affected. The Tennessee-based data broker in question, Dataium, has been fined $99,000, payable over the next two years, and will be liable to pay a suspended amount of $301,000 if the company fails to comply with the settlement over the next five years.
