Reed Elsevier PLC of the United Kingdom, the parent company of LexisNexis Group has been brought into the spotlight because of security breaches in the personal data collection database company, causing the shares in the parent company to fluctuate. The publishing concern is not daunted however and plans to avidly endorse the business of collecting personal data for sale to banks, lawyers, employers and other clients.

Morris Tabaksblat, the chairman of Reed Elsevier PLC, said that the first major issue that the new chief executive would have to deal with is whether or not the company should stay independent. Mr. Tagbaksblat said that Reed may have an entirely different look with all the major changes occuring within the publishing industry. Mr. Tabaksblat may even be merged or acquired.
