U.S. Citizens' data compromised... are you worried?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1296741

My credit's bad, so they can't steal from me... and I don't have any enemies. Still, this is very disturbing!

2. I'm more concerned about Choice Point's little "issue".
They had customer records from Bank of America. BofA holds my mortgage.

3. I wonder what one could do with such information...
It really irks me that they withheld the info, but it sure doesn't surprise me.

5. The faked identity papers would be worth a fortune.
Of course the theft of identity is frightening enough on its own.

6. Oh duh...
of course that would contain all they'd need to steal identity... just as with the federal data... *sigh*

4. What gets me is
that these companies should be paying us to store and access our information. Wells Fargo wants to charge me 14 bucks a month to have access to my credit file and do other tasks with my file like correct errors and such. Goes to show you that the little guy gets screwed once again.

7. We "paranoid" types said this would happen -- and it has
Choice point screwed up -- plus they have known about identity theft and never informed the victims.

And these are the thefts are just the ones we know about --
