Benefit Partner News: Veterans Advantage, Branches of U.S. Military Raise Concerns about Counterfeiting or Cloning of Military ID Cards
Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) August 20, 2014
In step with recent warnings by the U.S. Armed Forces, Veterans Advantage today warned all active and retired military and their families about new and growing privacy concerns that could engender threats to national security.
The warning has been issued due to an increase in the use of military identification cards such as Common Access Cards (CAC) by commercial establishments. While photocopying of any government military ID card is illegal, many commercial establishments will request such proof to verify military status for government rates or “discounts” for services and goods without adequate protocols to ensure they will not be copied or duplicated in any way.
