About the White Paper:
Congress estimates that nearly 10 million people were victims of identity theft in 2004 alone. In the past several years, a number of high profile network security breaches have resulted in the loss of enormous amounts of private personal and financial data opening the door to identity theft for millions of individuals. These types of high profile security breaches raised awareness with politicians and their constituencies resulting in over 20 states since 2003 enacting laws regarding security breaches and notifications.
