Report: Identity Theft Worse in 2008

Jennifer LeClaire writes in Report: Identity Theft Worse in 2008 that the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) has offered several disturbing predictions for 2008. For example, the ITRC predicts identity theft will continue to grow more international in scope and that identity-theft scams will become more sophisticated and will be harder to detect.

"Identity theft is like the never-ending story," ITRC Founder Linda Foley said in a statement. "It acts like an oil spill that spreads in yet another direction with the ocean currents and wind despite best efforts to contain it."
