Law enforcement struggles to stop ID theft
On tonight's (April 29, 2005) NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, there was a segment (posted on MSNBC) on a multi-agency task force making efforts to stem the tide of ID theft (Article by Tom Costello):
In San Diego, a high-tech, undercover, multijurisdictional task force called the Computer and Technology Crime High-Tech Response Team, or CATCH, targets the nationwide identity theft epidemic.
"This is the fastest-growing crime in the United States today, and it is worldwide," says Keith Burt, the project director of CATCH and a deputy district attorney in San Diego. "We had one individual who had 10 million profiles in his computer alone."
