identity fraud

August 21, 2014 -

According to New York's attorney general more than 3,000 business reported nearly 23 million private records were exposed to data security breaches in the past 8 years.  While 40% of the breaches were due to computer hacking other causes included stolen equipment and insider wrongdoing.  'Insider wrongdoing' could be as simple as someone at your local restaurant copying credit card numbers when you handed over your card to pay the bill.  Your information in the wrong hands could wreak havoc on your credit rating and result in a lot of time and aggravation on your part to put things right.  It could also ruin an otherwise lovely day!  Many insurance companies can add Identity Fraud coverage to your homeowner policy for as little as $25.  Give me a call and get the particulars.
