January 3rd, 2008 - Posted by Joe
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.
