Recently, it was reported that some local residents may be susceptible to identity theft because a health insurer’s computer server was stolen. Earlier this year, the personal information of veterans nationwide was also put at risk due to the theft of a laptop computer and external hard drive from the home of a Department of Veterans Affairs employee. These cases drive home the importance of data security as well as knowing how to protect against identity theft and how to respond if you think you might be a victim. Congressman Ryan has invited U.S. Postal Inspection Service officials to come to Janesville to share information and answer questions about this issue of critical concern to area residents.
While this event begins at 11:30am, the main USPIS presentation will begin about 12:00 noon, in order to accommodate area employees who wish to attend the meeting over their lunch break. Trained Postal Inspection Service personnel will be available after the conclusion of the town hall meeting to address individual residents’ specific identity theft questions.
