February 9, 2011 by Terry.

Andrew Chastain was recovering from brain surgery in May 2009 when he said someone used his identity to try and get drugs from Martinsville pharmacies, 6News’ Joanna Massee reported.

My Family and I personally affected by a Benefits Broker data breach which happened when I was an employee at J-U-B Engineers

August 14, 2010 by Terry.

July 12, 2010	Marsh and Mercer Washington, District Of Columbia	BSF	PORT	At least 3,000
Marsh and Mercer’s Seabury and Smith, Inc. and Mercer Health and Benefits LLC operations were involved. The list of known organizations with affected employees includes Idaho Power, Saint Luke’s health System and Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.The location is listed as Seabury and Smith’s office.The insurance broker and benefits consulting firm reported the loss of a backup tape during transport. The tape contained employee benefits information for companies that used Marsh and Mercer for consultation. Names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, account information and driver’s license numbers were on the tape.
Information Source: Databreaches.net	records from this breach used in our total: 3,000
The above data was found at http://www.privacyrights.org/data-breach/newI and my family [including wife and 4 children] are personally affected by this breach. It happened back in April 2010. Happens to be that I was laid-off in May 2010 from J-U-B Engineers, who also was affected by this breach. J-U-B Engineers was not listed on the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse website posting shown above. Yet, I was not informed until early August 2010.I am just glad that I and my family were already enrolled for the past 5+ years with the world’s leading risk consulting company, who has been watching our family member’s good name and there to do complete restoration, should something happen. We also have a second 800-lb gorilla available to us should legal issues arise. Problem is that the thieves already are educated on holding the data for at least a year to give time to elapse for the FREE 1-yr coverage these companies offer because it happened. And they are only offering the monitoring and restoration [at least it is with the better solution out there], but no Legal coverage, because the thieves don’t use our information just for financial gain. What about the Character/Criminal, Medical, Driver’s License, Employment, and Children’s IDentity Theft areas? Those will need access to an attorney.

In March 2010, the Utah state legislature passed SB251 which requires all employers with 15 or more employees to protect children from illegal alien driven, job-related identity theft by using a status verification system such as E-Verify.

SB251 enters into effect on July 1, 2010 which is too late to protect an 11 month old Utah child who is the victim of identity theft.
