There was standing room only at Hagerstown Community College Wednesday evening, as dozens of people turned out to learn how to take a stand against identity theft and fraud.
U.S Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., hosted the forum and workshop on the heels of a major data breach of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s databases.
The agency announced last month that Social Security numbers for 21.5 million people were stolen through the breach.
A panel also addressed data breaches and other scams that have recently made headlines, including breaches with private companies such as Target and Carefirst BlueCross BlueShield.
The event served as a way to educate constituents and help provide them with the resources to take a proactive stand against fraud and identity theft, Delaney said.
