1 in 3 Americans exposed to identity theft in 2007

Posted by Joe on January 3rd, 2008

Over 120 million Americans, or one in every three, had personal information exposed in 2007 which left them vulnerable to identity thieves according to a report by the Identity theft Resource Center.

Helen Lord, Head of fraud and regulatory compliance at Experian, said:

"The rate of identity fraud growth continues to be scary".

Lord also mentioned that Experian was contacted by 2,570 victims of identity theft in the first half of 2007.

We strongly suggest that our readers resolve to proactively prevent identity theft in 2008 by signing up for an identity theft prevention service such as LifeLock or Identity Guard. These services will monitor your credit and notify you of suspicious changes to your credit file.
