Electronics retailer RadioShack Corp. has agreed to pay Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's office $630,000 to settle an investigation into the company's identity-theft protection practices.

.... RadioShack was investigated after the attorney general learned a retail location had dumped thousands of sensitive records into a trash can. The records contained confidential client data, Social Security numbers, debit and credit information and personal contact information.
