After news broke that personal information collected by doctors and other health organizations had turned up in several dumpsters, CJAD800 radio host Ric Peterson invited Protection Power's Sylvain Patry to speak to the Montreal audience.

Peterson wanted to know exactly how Protection Power was able to scan the Internet for the Social Insurance Numbers, credit card details and bank account numbers of Canadians.

“We scan literally tens of millions of secret FTP websites, all sorts of hacker websites across the world, and we monitor your (information) on the Internet seven days a week, 24 hours a day,” Patry began. “We actually recognize wherever you identity or pieces of your identity can be sold or bought.”

And if Protection Power's identity monitoring service spots a member's personal information on a hacker site, he or she will be notified – helping to stop identity thieves in their tracks.
