[ga] DoJ Proposes Enhanced Identity Theft Legislation

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  I believe this legislation will be passed by both houses this week
and have companies like Yahoo, Google, and MS scrambling
to address it ramifications regarding their various "Services"
they currently offer or provide their unsuspecting customers
or other users.

(July 20, 2007)
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has submitted the Identity Theft
Enforcement and Restitution Act of 2007 to Congress.  The proposed
legislation expands identity theft and aggravated identity theft
statutes to include prosecution for those who steal data from
organizations as well as from individuals.  The bill would also provide
financial restitution for people who have to spend time fixing the
problems created by identity theft.
