Identity Theft

What is Identity Theft?

If you answered credit card or bank account theft, then you are not alone in understanding. Unfortunately, like most Americans, you are only 25% correct. There are, in fact, five areas of identity theft. Financial crimes comprise only 27% of the problem with the rest coming from the following areas:

  • Drivers License
  • Social Security
  • Medical
  • Criminal

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates that 10 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. Source FTC

This year 1 out of 4 families will be victimized by identity theft. Consumers victimized by identity theft may lose out on job opportunities, be denied insurance, or loans, encounter tax and IRS issues, or have erroneous information listed on their medical records. They may even be arrested for crimes they did not commit. The potential for damage, loss, and stress is considerable.

Every Business Must
  • Provide Reasonable Measures of protection for your employees and customers
  • Establish policies and procedures on protecting sensitive and non-public information
  • Provide ongoing employee training on identity theft prevention
  • Make available restoration services for employees that have become victims of identity theft
  • Investigate contractors and service providers, data security practices to insure their standards comply with the Federal Privacy Laws
  • Notify Customers of Data and security breaches

Because of the seriousness of identity theft, Federal Privacy Laws such as FACTA and GLB have been enacted that hold companies liable for the protection of private information related to their employees and customers. Many companies are neither aware of the law nor the steps necessary to protect themselves from liability.
