QUINCY, ILL. -- A massive data breach at Sony Corp.'s PlayStation Network has left it's 77 million account holders worrying that their credit card information could fall into the wrong hands.
For this KHQA Safe Family Crime Report, we spoke with Mike Prusinski with Life Lock -- an information protection company.
He says security breaches happen all the time that consumers don't know about.
That's because there are no laws that force the company to tell you when the information is lost.
Prusinski says, "There's no real record of showing what the one way it happens. We do know it comes because people steal your trash, they steal your mail. We provide our information way too often to way too many organizations who prove time and again that they can't protect it."
Because Sony is responsible for the breach they now offer free identity theft protection to affected customers.
