Identity theft is a hot topic these days. Seldom does a day go by
without a news item describing a "phishing" attack, or personal data
being stolen from an enterprise. "Avoiding Identity Theft" is
designed to make students aware of the dangers that identity theft
poses - not only to themselves, but also to others - and to
highlight measures that can be taken to reduce the risk. It also
includes valuable advice on how to spot identity theft, and how to
react if you become a victim.
(PRWEB) January 27 2004 -- Cosaint (http://www.cosaint.net) - a Mount
Vernon (WA) based company specializing in end-user security
awareness training - is pleased to announce the release of "Avoiding
Identity Theft" - the latest in its series of web-based awareness
courses.
Identity theft is a hot topic these days. Seldom does a day go by
without a news item describing a "phishing" attack, or personal data
being stolen from an enterprise. And Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
figures show just how serious this is with 27.3 million Americans
being victims of identity theft in the five years up to 2002. Over
the same period, the financial losses to businesses were over $47
billion and consumers suffered $5 billion in out-of-pocket expenses.
If identity theft affects you personally, you can suffer immediate
financial losses and also the added burden of trying to fix identity
theft. |
