According to the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) today, there has been 519 data breaches -- a record number -- reported thus far in 2015.  Businesses and the healthcare industry account for nearly 75% of the reported breaches, with banking accounting for another 9%, and education and government breaches accounting for the balance of 16%. 
  Of course, these are just the reported breaches.  Some entities choose not to report them, or they haven't been discovered yet.  Historically, many months go by before breaches are discovered.
  Without trying to sound like a salesman, it is no longer a valid option to ignore identity theft, hoping it won't happen.  All of us have had our information compromised.  It is just a matter of whether our information will be used in a fraud.  If you do not have a strong identity theft protection service, get one. I recommend IDShield from LegalShield.  Take a look at it at my website http://IDSolutions.us.  Don't wait until you find out the hard way that you are victimized.
