One upshot of widespread identity theft is that people are more suspicious of others. The article implies that it's hard to get completely away from problems. I'm afraid that's so.
I accidentally but still stupidly gave out Richard's credit card number through some fraudulent link recently. Right before he started his lecture on me, he called the bank to cancel that old card. Hopefully it doesn't come back to haunt us in a few months.
The anxieties regarding identity theft are wellfounded; but they do lead to a certain amount of paranoia. Was it always this way; or is this a new development? Certainly, the technology is new.
Duck - Someone will always be probing for weaknesses.
Amanada - If you acted quickly enough I don't think anything will happen.
Angel - The technology has changed. THe scammers have always been there.
It really amounts to always being aware what identity information is valuable, and guarding it as much as possible.
And not dropping your guard.
I suspected that identity theft issues were not simple to solve. 130 hours is a sizeable amount of time!
Elvis - Never ever drop your gaurd. HEY! Do have any ID?!
Grand - I've read about people spending years trying to get things fixed. My wife and I have ID theft protection through our credit union. Hope we never have to use it.
It does seem that with e-technology the requirement of vigilance has grown astronomically.
