New Research Shows Online Identity Theft Growth Is Contained and Consumers Have More Control Than They Think
One Surprising Finding: the Core Demographic - 25 to 34 - Has the Highest Rate of Online Identity Theft Rather Than Seniors.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 31, 2006 - The 2006 Online Identity Theft Survey Report - released by the Council of Better
Business Bureaus and Javelin Strategy & Research - provides new facts on how online identity theft occurs,
counterintuitive insights that challenge conventionally accepted beliefs about these crimes,
and steps consumers can take to further protect themselves against this problem.
Online Identity Theft is defined as access to personal account information that leads to fraud.
The comprehensive, longitudinal survey, independently produced by Javelin Strategy & Research, is believed
to be the largest ever on identity fraud, with an increased 2005 sample size of 5,000 telephone interviews with consumers.
The survey was, in part, made possible by CheckFree, Visa and Wells Fargo & Company.
The findings show that despite growing fears the growth of identity fraud is
contained and that data compromise through the Internet is actually less severe,
less costly and not as widespread as previously thought.
