INDENTITY THEFT
Identity theft has become a great concern throughout our newly technological advanced nation. Although the government has increased their attention on this matter, little legislation has been passed to ensure people their personal information located in important databases of small companies such as personall tax preparers, or accountants, is safe and protected. There has been legislation passed towards punishing people who are negligent in protecting their clients information, however, there has been little legislation towards requiring a certain level of security of anyone who chooses to store data from clients on their own servers. The government has not invested enough money into protecting people's information and tracing hackers over the internet and tracking people who perform such crimes. Please place your comments about some of your ideas of areas the government should be investing on in order to avoid indentity theft.

My father has been a victim of identity theft twice already. First time some one broke into his car and stoled his wallet and went into the bank and cashed all the money in the account with my dad's ID. Second time he forgot his wallet somewhere and whoever found it apply for credit cards under my dad's name with his own address. About 3 months later someone found his wallet on the street and was able to get in contact with him and returned the wallet. Since now the bank has the address of the person who stele my dad's identiy the bank is investigating this. But I totaly agree that new laws needs to be passed out specialy on the era we are living right now as more and more technology is advancing and everything is done though computers and internet.
