Identity Theft Incidents Continue to Hit Close to Home, Concerned Business Owners Launch Identity Theft Seminar Series to Increase Awareness in Local Communities

Local business owners, both victims of cyber crimes themselves, are helping communities battle the identity theft epidemic with a new free seminar series entitled Identity Theft -- Are You Really Who You Think You Are?" Steven Hamburg and Jason Hayek, founders of Triad Information Security Services, LLC, are on a mission to educate and inform individuals about the fastest growing crime in the United States...identity theft.

Wheeling, IL (PRWEB) March 12, 2005 -- Triad Information Security Services will kick-off its free seminar series with Steven Hamburg speaking at Indian Trails Public Library District tonight at 7:00 pm. The disturbing thing about identity theft is that it does not discriminate...it can impact everyone regardless of age, gender, race, or economic status," states Hamburg.

With the recent national publicity surrounding the ChoicePoint consumer data security breach, consumers are really beginning to think about the seriousness of the identify theft problem. However, there is still much work that needs to be done with educating the consumer about how to protect themselves from identity theft, and what to do if they become a victim. We know how to help protect people from this crime, and we feel obligated to spread awareness of the issue," explains Hayek.

Identity theft crimes jumped more than 40% in 2004. Triad Information Security Services, LLC, and Indian Trails Public Library District are taking identity theft awareness directly to the local communities with a no-nonsense approach to identity theft awareness and prevention.
