When you were applying to college?  When you got married?  The first time you applied for a passport?<P>It is not something most of us give much thought to, but your birth certificate is the first and most important document you will ever own.  If your <A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/arrival/gg/stolen-documents.htm">birth certificate is lost or stolen</A>, the loss of that document can lead to stolen assets and damage to your credit and reputation.  In the wrong hands, your birth certificate can be used to obtain a driver&#39;s license, cash a check, secure a loan, open credit accounts and charge them to the max, rent an apartment, buy a car, purchase a cell phone and rack up charges, or even commit a serious crime &ndash; all in your name.<P>If your <a name="birth-certificate-identity-theft">birth certificate is stolen or lost</a> and you do nothing to protect yourself, it could take days or even years before you are effected. Typical reporting methods, such as fraud alerts and credit reporting, may eventually notify you of fraudulent activity, but only after the damage has been done.  The only way to <A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/">protect yourself from identity theft</A> is through early detection of suspicious activity &ndash; early detection allows you to take action and stop identity theft BEFORE damage occurs.<P>There are many companies that claim to offer <A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/services/difference/default.htm">identity theft protection</A>, but only IdentityTruth uses advanced technology to search billions of data points tracking your personal data and detecting suspicious activity.  When possible fraud is detected, you are alerted and given direction on <A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/about/how/default.htm">how to protect your identity</a> and <A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/about/why/default.htm">stop identity theft</A>. <P><FONT COLOR="#800000"><b><A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/about/default.htm">Don&#39;t let a missing birth certificate lead to a stolen identity &ndash; visit IdentityTruth.com and safeguard your identity from theft.</A></b></font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P><B><A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/about/pr/article/press_release_14.htm">IdentityTruth Reaches Out To The 70,000 Oklahoma State University Students, Staff And Faculty Impacted By Server Breach</A></B><P><B>WALTHAM, MA &mdash; May 19, 2008 &mdash;</B> A breach in an Oklahoma State University computer server exposed the names, addresses and <A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/arrival/gg/lost-social-security-number.htm">Social Security numbers (SSNs)</a> of approximately 70,000 students, staff and faculty who purchased parking and transit service permits in the past six years. According to news sources, the discovery of the breach originally occurred in March; the University began notifying permit holders as of May 14. On discovery of the breach, OSU contacted federal law enforcement about the incident and immediately took down all access to the server.<P>After a <A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/arrival/gg/stolen-laptop.htm">stolen laptop</A> exposed the records and personal data of 37,000 students, faculty and staff, OSU transitioned most of its services to random 8-digit identifying numbers for students instead of using <A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/arrival/gg/social-security.htm">SSNs</A>. However, the server used for the parking and transit services had not been transitioned. The OSU website offers resources for helping to manage potential risks stemming from this data breach. It specifically urges individuals to look closely at their credit information.<P>Because <A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/services/default.htm">credit monitoring alone does not help to prevent identity theft</A>, <STRONG>IdentityTruth</STRONG> is also reaching out to affected individuals to offer special pricing on its comprehensive <A HREF="https://www.identitytruth.com/about/how/default.htm">identity theft prevention technology</A>. <STRONG>IdentityTruth</STRONG> detects real-time suspicious activities, fraud schemes, credit requests and related <A HREF="http://www.identitytruth.com/databreaches">data breaches</A>. <STRONG>IdentityTruth</STRONG> uses this information to build an individual identity profile offering a complete picture of a consumer&#39;s identity risk &#8211; from credit information to SSN tracking. <P>&quot;The process of protecting all forms of personal data is extremely complex, and is by no means infallible,&quot; said Steven Domenikos, CEO of <STRONG>IdentityTruth</STRONG>. &quot;While most institutions and organizations are aware of the risk that data exposure causes, exposure can and will happen because of human error, technology failings or malicious hackers targeting data. The only way to really control the process is to clearly understand where your data resides and the active level of risk at any given time.
