Republican Norm Coleman’s campaign notified donors Wednesday that at least 4,700 had their personal financial data compromised, a potential blow to his ability to continue raising money for his costly Senate election fight.

Coleman’s campaign advised supporters to cancel the credit cards used to make donations.
