Consumer Credit Data Stolen . . . Again; FilmWeek
Consumer Credit Data Stolen . . . Again
Just last month, thousands of customers were notified by consumer information company ChoicePoint that their credit information had been compromised by a fraud ring. Now, in the latest incident, identity thieves have obtained personal data such as names, addresses, social security numbers and drivers license numbers from companies like Lexis-Nexis and Designer Shoe Warehouse. Experts Beth Givens, founder and director of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, and Robert O’Harrow, staff reporter for the Washington Post and author of No Place to Hide published by the Free Press, join Host Larry Mantle to discuss what people can do to repair their credit, if it has been compromised, and how such information can be kept secure in the first place.
