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.
