Saturday, October 27th, 2007Many Kinds of Identity Theft Cause Many Types of Long Lasting Negative Impacts
Friday, October 26th, 2007I want to revisit the blog posting I made a few days ago, “Average Cost of ID Theft Per Victim is $31,356”
Some folks gave me some feedback, saying that they thought this cost was way too high based upon their own experiences when someone had used their credit cards and “it only took a matter of minutes to call the credit card company and report it, cancel the card/number, and get a new card, along with the $50” that they were responsible for.
Microsoft’s Charney Agrees That Information Security and Privacy Pros Must Work Together
Thursday, October 25th, 2007Yesterday (Wednesday) was the final day of the IAPP Privacy Academy, and it was a great conference for me! I have been preaching about information security and privacy collaboration within a 2-day training seminar over the past 2 years, so it is good to finally start hearing others recognize and promote the need for information security and privacy practitioners to work together.
Average Cost of ID Theft Per Victim is $31,356
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007Finally, a report that looks much more accurate with regard to how much identity theft costs the VICTIMS of a privacy breach. Most reported victim costs that I have seen in the past seemed much too low considering all the time that victims talked about trying to repair and recover from identity theft, and how much resources it took, the many years it often takes, and so on.

The World is Miffed About Spam & Phishing
Thursday, October 18th, 2007Several weeks ago I got spam from an information security company about a seminar they are putting on. I did not respond; I wasn’t interested. Since that time I have received many messages, all with the same content, from various people from that organization, the tone of which really ticked me off. The following is an excerpt.
Data Will Always Be Less Safe In The Future…I Don’t Want To Get Gussied Up To Talk On The Phone
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007I have a blog problem…there are way too many things I want to blog about and not enough hours in the day to do it! Throughout each day I note news items from the TV, or website news articles, or research, or reports, or just observations while at businesses or in public, and I only have a chance to blog about a small fraction of them. Today I think I’ll just briefly mention five of the topics I’ve planned to blog about, along with a brief note about each, and then maybe I’ll be able to revisit them sometime in the near future and discuss them at greater length.
