This sometimes feels like "The Identity Theft Blog" but it really isn't meant to be. For the time being these seemingly rampant leaks of personal data, some of which have come from our industry's heaviest hitters, cast long shadow over the value and merit of the work we investigators do. The same information technolgies that we've recently seen misused are what enables a firm like ours to assist its clients in avoiding fraud and ensuring business transparency.

It is import that in taking appropriate legislative action to guard against future data thefts we don't allow the baby to be thrown out with the bathwater. To that end we'll continue to cover I.D. theft closely in this space, as well as the state and federal legislatives moves that are proposed to combat it. Daniel Solove, George Washington University Law professor has been all over the media coverage of the Choicepoint affair. Solove has published widely on the subject of electronic privacy concerns and has recently proffered this treatise entitled A Model Regime of Privacy Protection that is well worth a read. Another choice nugget from beSpacific.

Also, am I the last one to know about this amazing resource?
