Download or read book What's the Deal with Identity Theft? written by Robert M. Ryerson and published by People Tested Media. This book was released on 2016-07-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, identity theft was the number one consumer complaint at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Breaches at healthcare companies Anthem and Premera alone exposed 91 million consumer records to the bad guys. In 2014, more than one billion records containing personally identifiable records were leaked. Today, identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the world. Everything from your credit card information to your medical history is at risk. This is a frightening book. Robert Ryerson talks about the black market value of stolen data like medical records and the reality that our innocent children can be victims of this crime. This book makes it clear that identity theft is a crime that impacts the victim in many ways. Once hit by identity theft, victims have little recourse, as identifying the perpetrator is sometimes impossible. They must work, many times on their own, to correct fallout from the theft, and to try to restore their reputation, personal records and credit. But this book is also a hopeful book. It offers solid, cost-efficient advice to help you avoid identity theft as much as possible, and recover from it as quickly as possible when it happens. The author, Robert Ryerson is a certified identity theft risk management specialist who works with individuals and families every day on this issue. His day is split between warning them about the dangers of identity theft and showing them how best to correct the situation, quickly. It's the responsibility of all Americans to educate themselves about this crime. Currently, one in four Americans are impacted by identity theft. As technology improves and the bad guys continue to get smarter, that number will grow. Read this book. Pass it on. This book will help you to protect yourself from becoming a victim of identity theft. And if you do become a victim, it will teach you how to address and correct the situation, and how to restore your identity as quickly as possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a relatively new crime, identity theft has dramatically increased in occurrence and severity since the early 1990s. By definition, identity theft is the obtainment and fraudulent use of another person's personal information, which can be relatively innocuous or much more serious. A talented criminal can take another individual's social security number, credit card information, checks, or other personal information, and use that information to impersonate the individual, manipulating a system that increasingly relies on nonpersonal identifiers. The political, legal, and criminal justice systems are struggling to catch up with the identity theft epidemic, while struggling with the technology that gives rise to it.

Download or read book Identity Theft in Today's World written by Megan McNally and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book accurately identifies the various forms of identity theft in simple, easy-to-understand terms, exposes exaggerated and erroneous information, and explains how everyone can take action to protect themselves. Identity theft is a classic crime with a modern (and perhaps decidedly American) twist. The rise of technology over the past few decades—and its influence on the processes of modernization and globalization—has created many new opportunities for identity theft both locally and internationally. Moreover, this process has transformed the nature of identity from something largely personal to something almost purely financial. Although identity theft is not a global crime per se, it does pose a pervasive and universal threat that will need to be acknowledged and addressed by many nations throughout the world. In this text, author Megan McNally examines the concept of identity theft in universal terms in order to understand what it is, how it is accomplished, and what the nations of the world can do—individually or collectively—to prevent it or respond to it.

Download or read book Your Evil Twin written by B. Sullivan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-08-25 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crime of the twenty-first century doesn't discriminate: ID theft has hit ordinary citizens and celebrities alike, from Oprah Winfrey to Steven Spielberg, and costs the economy $50 billion a year. Your Evil Twin covers this exploding crime from every possible angle. It includes exclusive whodunit details from mastermind identity thieves who have pilfered money from half the members of the Forbes 400, as well as exclusive interviews with a myriad of criminals in the Internet's underground, such as Russian hackers who have extorted money from U.S. banks. The book also issues a scathing indictment of the credit granting industry, from credit card issuers to the secretive credit reporting agencies, who have misunderstood the crime from the start, have been slow to respond, and bear much of the responsibility for the epidemic. Finally, Bob Sullivan, author and identity theft expert, probes the tepid solutions now being cobbled together by the industry and government. Bob Sullivan (Snohomish, WA), senior technology writer for MSNBC.com, is the nation's leading journalist covering identity fraud. He has written more than 100 articles on the subject since 1996, and is a regular contributor to MSNBC, CNBC, NBC Nightly News, the Today show, and various local NBC affiliates. With colleague Mike Brunker, Sullivan received the prestigious 2002 Society of Professional Journalists Public Service Award for ongoing coverage of Internet fraud.

Download or read book Child Identity Theft written by Robert P. Chappell and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child identity theft is the fastest growing type of identity theft, a crime that affects some 10 million people annually. Each year more than 500,000 children are affected by identity theft – half of them under age six. Countless other cases go unreported because the thief is a relative or parent of the victim. This devastating crime can wreak havoc on a child's future opportunities; it can be difficult to prove, and even harder to undo the damage that has been done. Child Identity Theft speaks to parents everywhere, the majority of whom have no idea that their children's identities have become such prime targets for thieves and criminals. Here, a veteran law enforcement professional and expert in child identity theft offers parents, educators, law enforcement officials, and others who care for or work with children an inside look at the ways in which children are vulnerable to identity thieves. Chappell presents the vital information in a question and answer format, offering not just information about how child identity theft happens, but also how to prevent it from happening, and what to do if it does. Among other things, Child Identity Theft explains: how a loophole in the national credit reporting system allows criminals to target innocent children for their creditworthiness; the variety of forms that child identity theft can take; the hidden techniques that thieves use to gain children's identities and personal information; which children are at a higher risk for identity theft; and how an increasing number of child identity thefts are perpetrated by parents and relatives. This book reveals the reality of child identity theft and the steps we all should take to protect our children and ourselves. How many victimized children are out there out there waiting to be discovered? Has your child been victimized? One hopes not, but if so, this book will give you the tools to find out and get help.
