Fraud Alerts Recommended for Peninsula Orthopaedic Patients Due to Stolen Data Tape

An investigation is underway after records from the Peninsula Orthopaedic office were stolen during transport to a storage facility near the end of March.

The company recently notified their 100,000 patients about the stolen tapes, and alerted them to place fraud alerts on their credit reports and carefully monitor what appears on their reports from the major credit bureaus.

Immediately after the data was missing, the doctor’s office started working with law enforcement to look into the matter and help assist in the investigation.

Patients can also have an identity theft protection service, such as LifeLock or TrustedId, place and renew the fraud alerts on their behalf and benefit from the additional protection measures and identity theft insurance or guarantee.
