ID Theft Scams Provoke Deeper Investigation of Data Collection Services and Targeted Consequences

Two articles worth reading from The Los Angeles Times (reg. req’d):

  • from today’s paper, this one examines the remarkably straighforward, low-tech tools (including fax machines and Wite-out) and methods that have been successfully used to carry out ID theft scams.
  • and from yesterday’s edition, Did ChoicePoint End Run Backfire? The data-collecting company has managed to avoid being bogged down by regulations — until maybe now.
  • Sorry, comments are closed for this post.
