Costs Mount For Identity Theft

from the watch-out dept

Some scary info about identity theft. It seems that it's growing more and more popular as a crime - and it's getting more and more difficult to catch. More criminals are getting into identity theft because it's easier and cheaper thanks to technology, and fewer cases are being prosecuted because police don't have the proper training, and are more focused on other crimes. It's clear, though, that's it's costing a lot of people a lot of money.
