All the data security proverb

 All the data security scandals this year have underscored how important it is for consumers to monitor their credit reports regularly to detect possible identity theft,

 Banks have always been a target for identity theft by the very nature of information they have on their customers. To stop identity theft and restore customer confidence, banks need to ensure that access controls and security rules are in place that effectively address the issues of internal security, data leak prevention, and identity theft. Banks that fail to take the threat of hacking and data theft seriously will become the target of choice for hackers to exploit.

 There is certainly a heightened awareness of identity theft. People are being encouraged to watch what's going on and monitor their credit reports and I don't think that's going to subside.

 With identity theft being one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States, it is crucial that consumers monitor their identities and adopt good practices for protecting themselves. Only through a combination of proactive monitoring and education can consumers understand how identity theft happens, how to protect themselves, and what steps to take if their identity is stolen. First Community Bank is pleased to provide this informative seminar in an effort to create more awareness and help protect the citizens of this community.

 Recent reports show ID theft topped the FTC list of fraud complaints again in 2005, indicating both heightened incidence and awareness of the crime. While awareness is an important first step for consumers, education is critical to preventing identity theft. This underscores the importance of experts like Lance in raising the visibility of best practices and emerging fraud tactics both on and offline, offering credible resources useful in protecting against the damage identity theft begets.

 Although the Internet is responsible for its share of identity theft, studies have shown that use of the Web and other electronic means such as ATMs can actually help consumers remain vigilant against theft because they can monitor their accounts multiple times over the course of month.

 We originally launched Triple Alert in December 2004 through select channels and are now offering the product more conveniently through its own unique Web site. Consumers are becoming more aware of the importance of monitoring all three of their credit reports and we want to help them become more knowledgeable about their credit while stopping possible identity theft in its tracks by providing the most affordable three-bureau credit monitoring product on the market today.

 Without knowing who has this crucial data or how it's being used, these consumers are at serious risk to credit card fraud or all-out identity theft, which can dramatically raise risks of a variety of financial and personal hardships.

 Sure, if you want your credit to be absolutely convenient, you would not select a credit freeze. But if you are a victim of identity theft, you would be happy to have that available to you. Ultimately, it is the only thing that will really stop identity theft.

 "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention.

 The other important feature is the ability to help consumers lock their credit reports. This is the ultimate form of identity protection.

 This bill ensures that consumers know when their personal information has been lost or stolen, so they can then take reasonable steps to prevent becoming victims of identity theft. Such steps include monitoring their credit files more closely, placing an initial fraud alert on their credit file, and placing a security freeze on their credit file if they live in a state that allows it.

 Until we get a handle on identity theft, people need to not just assume that their credit is fine, because the sky is the limit on how much damage can be done to your credit. Plus, there's always room for errors on the reports that need to be disputed and fixed.

 It is ironic that after a year in which over 55 million Americans' identities were put at risk through preventable data breaches, the House Financial Services Committee would repeal state laws that have protected consumers from identity theft.

 A security freeze is the strongest form of identity theft prevention for consumers. Only the security freeze gives the consumer the tool to put a stop to the opening of a new fraudulent account.

 Fraud alerts don't stop creditors from getting the credit record or credit score. The only type of fraud alert available to consumers before they become victims of identity theft only lasts 90 days, and it doesn't even require the creditor to contact the consumer.
