A second glance at identity theft:

While normally I prefer to add more significant content to my posts, this post will be more informative than anything else. Below please find a selection of links to stories relating to the recent news about identity theft:

*Washington Post graphic describing how identity thieves ran their operation. The full story can be found here.

*New York Times article about a potential data security breach involving a different company (not Choice Point). Also can be found here.

*This is an Associated Press clip about possible terrorist use of false identification to enter the United States through Mexico. This is not directly related to the information leaks discussed in the articles above, but it does give poignant reminder of the dangers such leaks and thefts can pose.
