Whitehouse urges protections against identity theft

[Katrina Burton Todd]

Leisl,

Thank you for the article on ID theft. It has been come a serious problem. People need to be more careful in how they handle their personal information. They should not give their credit card number out to wisely over the INTERNET. Even when you are throwing out the trash and you have your personal info on old bill statements. They should be shredded or torn up before you dispose of it.

The law do need to take a stronger stance on identity theft, although we as citizens need to take more responsibilities in protecting our private information.

Katrina,

When I first posted the story I don't think people were really aware of how often this occurs...but in the past few years it has really become a problem and you are seeing more info being published regarding how to protect yourself...
