Today’s news from ComputerWorld is a tad bit unnerving. Actually, it’s pretty darn scary. A recent survey says 15 million Americans were victims of identity-theft related fraud from mid-2006 to mid-2007, a 50% increase from 2003. Adding insult to injury, the average loss per incident was over $3K, more than twice the amount than the previous year. In other news, new hiring laws in Arizona may lead to an increase in ID theft.

Gartner research shows that there is a hidden threat of ID Theft, which is slowly penetrating all levels of society. Just proofs once again that Id Theft is on the rise, apart from the fake Javelin research (paid by … industry earlier this year). What a shame, Javelin.
