Hacking and ID theft: Are you next?

Seven tips for protecting your identity and money At least 110 million consumers were affected by the hack involving Target and Neiman Marcus retailers.

Whether or not millions more will have their identities manipulated and finances ruined within the coming months due to more breaches of security at other stores is anyone’s guess, says identity theft recovery expert Scott A. Merritt.

“By necessity, I became an expert on identity theft.

My information was stolen in 2006, and in repairing the damage, I learned some not-so-obvious ways we can all protect against identity theft in the first place,” says Merritt, CEO of Merritt & Associates and author of “Identity Theft Do’s and Don’ts.”

Merritt’s problems began quickly. While disputing financial charges and dealing with resulting business problems, in 2007 he was stopped for a traffic violation and arrested on a false outstanding felony warrant. He immediately knew why.

“I had to enlist my U.S. congressman and convince the state police, NCIC, FBI and Secret Service that I didn’t commit the felonies. For a few years, I had to prove that the prints did not match the false record in question.

After legal action, however, I was able to have this corrected.”

Unfortunately, the millions affected by the recent hacks may be dealing with similar repercussions in the years ahead, he says.

Before you become a victim of identity theft, Merritt offers seven ways to guard against it.

• Understand how and where it happens. Identity theft is like being robbed when you are away from home; most thefts occur in places where you do business every day.

Either a place of business is robbed, a bad employee acts improperly or a hacker breaches the office through the computer.

• Secure your wallet’s information. Photocopy everything in your wallet: Photos, credit cards (front and back), membership cards – everything. Put the copies

in the order the cards are arranged in your wallet, staple the pictures and place them in a strong box or safe.

• Make sure your information is consistent. For all of your identity and financial documents, make absolutely sure, to the smallest detail, that all of your personal information is accurate and consistent! Discrepancies such as using your middle initial on some documents, and not others, or having different addresses, can wreck havoc in proving your identity, and can compromise your credit score.

• Secure your digital habits and data. Change your passwords at least twice a year on a non-scheduled basis – don’t be predictable. Have a strong firewall if you shop online, and only access sites that are protected by a strong firewall and high industry standards. Access accounts of a financial nature only from your personal computer.

• Protect your banking information. While in the bank, keep account numbers and other data out of sight, and avoid stating account numbers, Social Security numbers and similar information out loud. When planning a bank visit, have items such as deposits and withdrawal slips prepared in advance.

• Account for your interactions with vendors. Every time you speak to someone with whom you do business, write down the time, date, name and the purpose or outcome of the call. If an identity theft occurs on the vendor’s end, you will be able to reference these prior conversations effectively. Be sure to note any animosity or reluctance from the vendor.

• Don’t carry around your birth certificate or Social Security card. Unless it’s necessary, keep those vital items in a safe, or at least a firebox. If you know someone is going to need a copy of your tax returns or your driver’s license, for example, make the copies ahead of time. This avoids the need for a firm’s employee to leave the room with such information.

“Of course, you can greatly reduce being a victim of such recent hacks that occurred at the major retailers by using cash more often,” he says. “But if you’re going to use credit, use a card from a national bank or a national credit union and never a debit card, no exceptions.”

Five easy ways to inspire your child to read March 3 is Read Across America Day PERU – In March, Sylvan Learning locations across the country, including Sylvan Learning located in Peru, will join the nation’s parents, children and educators to observe the largest annual celebration of reading In celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, the National Educational Association (NEA) hosts Read Across America Day (http://www.nea. org/grants/886.htm) on March 3. The annual observance serves as a yearly opportunity for families to put reading front and center in a child’s life. It’s a day when parents can help children discover how reading can transport them to places of fun, adventure and learning just as surely as TV,

Internet or video games.

“Children whose primary exposure to reading occurs at school rather than at home may associate reading with work rather than pleasure,” said Daniel Callahan of Sylvan Learning located in Peru.

“Read Across America Day provides an ideal chance for parents to introduce reading as the enjoyable, entertaining activity that it can be. And of course, numerous studies have shown that the more reading a child does at home, the more it enhances that child’s performance at school.”

However, reading is more than a one-day event. That’s why Callahan is offering these five simple tips to help families ensure their children establish a lifelong relationship with the written word.

• Be a role model. Seeing is believing. Letting your child see you read on a regular basis is far more effective in conveying the importance of reading

than telling them to do when you were their age so. Be prepared to discuss and make those books what you are reading, and available for them to encourage children to ask explore.

IVCH prepares for celebration PERU — As part of its year-long observance on the 100th anniversary of the opening of the People’s Hospital, Illinois Valley Community Hospital is looking for photos, documents or other memorabilia from the early years of People’s and St. Mary’s Hospital or either of the schools of nursing the hospitals at one time supported.

People’s Hospital opened in 1914 on the site in Peru

where IVCH now stands.

The hospital merged with St. Mary’s Hospital in LaSalle in 1976 to form IVCH. The St. Mary’s building was eventually closed, and all services were moved to Peru in 1979. St. Mary’s Hospital opened in 1887.

“We’re celebrating the fact that there has been a hospital caring for patients at this location for 100 years,” said Gene Vogelgesang, IVCH public relations

director.

“We’re planning an open house for Sunday, May 4, and would like to display as many photos and other items from the history of People’s and St. Mary’s Hospitals as possible,” said Vogelgesang. “Any photos or memorabilia that people can loan to us would be appreciated.”

For more information, contact Vogelgesang at 815-780-3521 or gene. vogelgesang@ivch.org. Pho-

tos can be sent to the IVCH Public Relations office, 925 West St., Peru, IL 61354.
