ID Theft Scams Provoke Deeper Investigation of Data Collection Services and Targeted Consequences

Two articles worth reading from The Los Angeles Times (reg. req’d):

from today’s paper, this one examines the remarkably straighforward, low-tech tools (including fax machines and Wite-out) and methods that have been successfully used to carry out ID theft scams.

and from yesterday’s edition, Did ChoicePoint End Run Backfire? The data-collecting company has managed to avoid being bogged down by regulations — until maybe now.

BeSpacific: “No one better has her finger on the pulse of the legal information world than Sabrina Pacifici, law librarian and author of the blog BeSpacific,” writes blogger Robert Ambrogi. “Launched in 2002, BeSpacific is one of the longest-running legal blogs and, remarkably, Sabrina seems more prolific today than ever. She posts multiple items every day, covering the gamut of law, technology and knowledge discovery and topics ranging from cybersecurity to legal research to government regulation to civil liberties to IP and more. For me, BeSpacific is one of my daily must-reads and has been for 14 years straight.”
