Text Box: Identity Theft = Nation's Fastest Growing Crime!

uIdentity Theft is the fastest growing crime in America. It is committed 200 times per week.

uVictims spend an average of 200 hours over a three-year period to recover from the effects of having their identity stolen.

uThe Supreme Court has ruled that information in your trash is "fair game" to anyone. Privacy laws make you vulnerable to lawsuits when personnel records are disclosed to outsiders—even by accident!

uThe 1974 Federal Privacy Act was established to insure that government agencies protect the privacy of individuals and businesses with regard to information held by them and to hold these agencies liable if any information is released without authorization.

u"Bank robbers net about $85 per holdup and are caught 80% of the time. Information thefts average $800,000 in value, and the thieves are caught only 2% of the time." - Management Accountant, December 1997

u70% of all espionage involves Dumpster Diving.

uDun's Review estimates that corporate espionage costs U.S. businesses over $7 billion in losses yearly!

uHow are your discarded documents safeguarded?

 

uWhere is your printer located? Is it a network printer? Does it sit next to the copier and/or fax machine?

 

uHow many employees have access to your freshly printed documents before you retrieve them?

 

uWhat is in your trash dumpster outside? Is it locked?

 

uIs there paper blowing around outside your building? If so, what is on it?

 

uWhat do you do with the working draft of a report or proposal once you are done with it?

 

uHow many people have access to your recycling and waste containers in your office? Could they benefit from the information they have access to?

 

uWhat happens to your magnetic or digitally stored information?

 

uHow do you dispose of old computers?

 

uWhat do you do with disks, CD's, tape backups, microfiche, and film?
