ID Theft Research Group to Come Out of the Shadows

Kelly Jackson Higgins writes on Dark Reading:

The Center for Identity Management and Information Protection (CIMIP) has kept a low profile since its inception over a year ago, but that's about to change: The public-private partnership that includes IBM, the U.S. Secret Service, and the FBI, has just broken ground on a new multi-million dollar secured facility, and next month will release some surprising findings about the bad guys behind identity theft.

Gary Gordon, executive director for CIMIP, says the organization will be presenting some interesting findings from two research projects to the Secret Service and the Bureau of Justice Assistance next week, and then will go public with those results at its "Identity Management and Information Protection: Research to Action" conference next month in McLean, Va.
