Identity Theft Now Easier On-line

A new study indicating who is likely to steal your identity shifts the blame from people you know to those who are more likely to be strangers. In its “Identity Fraud Trends and Patterns“, Utica College’s Center For Identity Management & Information Protection (CIMIP) tracked Secret Service arrests and convictions of offenders and found that identity thieves used these methods of operation. ID thieves used the Internet or some other technological device in the commission of the crime approximately 50 percent of the time. Among those who did not use technology, tactics like dumpster diving and change of address forms were used 20 percent of the time. Learn about ID theft prevention strategies outlined on the Federal Trade Commission’s Identity Theft Site.
