I've got a secret

NCC1701Z Stardate 05-23-07. These have been the voyages of The Star Ship ID Theft, on it's continuing mission to Deter, Detect, and Defend the public against ID theft. The nature of this Blog is changing. If has morphed into something greater than the whole of it's parts.

This is why, I will tell you, and only you (looking over my shoulder) how to get access to the information that has come from this site. There are 3 sources that you can access to see what I see every day. Yes, three John Merthas AKA Deep throats like from Watergate. You must contact them yourselves as I do not want to engage in any copyright issues.

1. I have added a Google newsfeed on the types of articles I am viewing on a daily basis on the left column. In addition there are other GREAT sources of info on ID Theft listed in the information in this post and the articles listed below. If you have any questions, on ID theft and what you can do to protect yourself OR your business please email me at:


2. A GREAT daily source for info is the mailing list at http://attrition.org/dataloss/

They have a lot of people all over the world that scower news stories (including me, and you if you join). Sign up for the list and make sure to download "The Chronology of Data Breeches". It lists KNOWN since 2005 and is extensive. I challenge people to look at it and try NOT to find their industry. Retail, Banking, Government, Healthcare are all there. Signup is FREE and will provide you with at least 3-5 NEW examples each day.

3. The FTC website at http://www.ftc.gov They have a section on ID theft and have several publications available for download to PDF files.

4. Oh, Yea (UM BOM BOM) Here is the BONUS ROUND. The infosec newsletter. http://www.infosecnews.org/

They focus on computer network security and show the many successful attempts to break into businesses computers that happen each day to obtain YOUR personal information.

I have more, but for today, that is all. Off to save the world again.
