Data Breaches Are Big Business
According to a report from the Identity Theft Resource Center last week, we're closing in on 10 million records exposed in 2012.
The numbers indicate that breaches occur at all types of institutions:
3.4 million records stolen from businesses
2 million stolen from educational facilities
2 million stolen from the military/government facilities
2 million from healthcare providers and institutions
As we "celebrate" National Protect Your Identity Week, just remember, your personal information is always at risk.
