Two sources of IDentity Theft & Data Breach information areas I watch are:
[1] Privacy Rights Clearinghouse & [2] Identity Theft Resource Center® (ITRC)
Of particular note from PRC’s website is this:
“[3] A Chronology of Data Breaches — Over 251 million data records of U.S. residents have been exposed due to security breaches since Jan 05.”
That is 4 years ago, this month, that they started trackingthat data! Keep in mind - How many people are there in the U.S.? About 300 Million - from newborn to long-lived.
I know my data has been breachd at least once. Got the letter stating my data was on the source that was lost/stolen.
You may want to visit the Chronology of Data Breaches page and see if a company you know has been breached, possibly with your data. Why? - An [4] article reported indicate that about 90 percent of businesses are at risk of losing your personal information.
