As problems like identity theft become more prevalent, now more than ever, Americans need to take their financial health seriously - and this information is of the utmost importance.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Identity theft is a serious crime that affects millions of Americans each year.
Social security, bank account, and credit card numbers aren't just data. In the wrong hands they can wipe out someone's life savings, wreck their credit and cause financial ruin.
According to the Privacy Rights Center, up to 10 million Americans are victims of ID theft each year. They have a right to be notified when their most sensitive health data is stolen.
Americans need accurate information in order to consider Social Security reform. Too bad the media can't be counted upon to provide it.
If we don't act now to safeguard our privacy, we could all become victims of identity theft.
It's amazing how much information we share in social media, then we wonder why people steal our identity.
Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the nation - especially in the suburbs.
It's hard to exaggerate the importance of preserving the financial integrity of Social Security.
While the Census Bureau already has a legal obligation to keep people's information confidential, we all know that in an age of cyber attacks and computer hacking that ensuring people's privacy can be difficult.
The true identity theft is not financial. It's not in cyberspace. It's spiritual. It's been taken.
