Bob Sullivan on Identity Theft.

Posted by Eric at 7:35 am. Filed under: General

From Bob Sullivan, the author of “Your Evil Twin, Behind the Identity Theft Epidemic,” we learn today that it seems that all you’ve got to do to learn tons of information about someone is convince ChoicePoint that you’re a legitimate business with a need for this information.

Oh, and if you’re one of the consumers who have had their information accessed, and potentially their identity stolen:

“ChoicePoint has apologized for any inconvenience this incident may cause,”

Hope you feel better now.

RFID Chip

Oh, and you could prevent this type of thing by simply getting an RFID chip implanted so no one can steal your identity without surgically removing it. Of course… you would also need a tin foil hat so that the government could not track you everywhere you went. The dilemmas of the information age.

Or maybe RFID is not so secure. Back to the drawing board.
