Start by acknowledging that identity theft is a problem that merits our concern and precautions are warranted. Obvious things like shredding sensitive documents, not providing vital information to unauthorized people, protecting computers with anti-virus, spyware, and firewalls, and monitoring our credit reporting activity must become routine. While the liability limit of a stolen credit card is only $50, the resulting impact on a credit rating can have shattering effect on the ability to obtain needed credit at a reasonable interest rate, insurance at the standard rate or even being considered for a new job. Additionally, negative information generated by identity theft can linger in a credit file for years. The theft of a Social Security number and enough other personal information to obtain credit cards, loans, or divert assets is a more serious matter that cannot be corrected without a commitment of substantial resources - financial and otherwise. In fact, the average identity theft victim in 2004 spent about 330 hours over a six to nine month period to mend the damages. Based on average wages, this translates into $8,000 in lost or potential income - not counting payment for bogus charges that creditors refused to forgive or extra interest paid due to a diminished credit score. In many cases the victim did not discover their identity theft for months, and in some cases years, after the fraud.
