Attention to ID Theft?


Two days ago, a 23-year-old Oregon man was sentenced this week to four years in federal prison for using computer viruses to steal financial data from dozens of consumers in U.S. Investigators say the man used the information to set up multiple eBay and PayPal accounts, which helped him sell more than $1 million worth of pirated software. From this news you can see that Keylogger is still a critical threat. According to Javelin Strategy & Research latest Survey, however, the number of US adult victims of identity fraud decreased from 10.1 million in 2003 and 9.3 million in 2005 to 8.4 million in 2007. Total one year fraud amount decreased from $55.7 billion in 2006 to $49.3 billion in 2007. The mean fraud amount per fraud victim decreased from $6,278 in 2006 to $5,720 in 2007. The mean resolution time was at a high of 40 hours per victim in 2006 and was reduced in 2007 to 25 hours per victim. The median resolution time has remained the same for each Survey year at 5 hours per victim.
