In 1999, the Federal Trade Commission Identity Theft Hotline (877-ID-THEFT) was established to take reports of identity theft, as well as to provide information on how not to become a victim.  Statistics confirmed that identity theft was not increasing; however, this incident will leave Sony's customers as possible victims to identity theft.

We are all at risk for financial and medical identity theft (a version of identity theft consisting of stealing information that allows treatment and even costly surgeries to be accomplished by submitting false bills to our insurance companies), and exposure of our personal information and trade secrets are at risk.  Protection of personal information is critically important, and it does take effort to keep our personal information private.

In addition to producing absolutely accurate documentation, Transcription Plus, LLC focuses on protecting client data by keeping it confidential and secure.
