Identity Theft -- Are you a victim, the source, or both?

8.3 million people or almost 4% of American adults were victims of identity theft in 2005. Not suprising is that over 56% of those did not know how the information was stolen, but what is suprising is that 16% knew the thief personally. Companies can really provide a benefit to their employees at little cost by purchasing for them identity theft coverage. It is the cheepest protection an employer can buy to keep its employees productive. An employee who has had his/her identity stolen is not thinking about work.

Almost all business keep data. If your data is stolen, hacked, or destroyed more than likely you are not covered for the losses you suffered or even greater the losses the theft caused for others. Just recently Insurance companies started offering this coverage. Consult your Independent Agent or you may be more of an Indentity Theft victim than you think.
