ITRC's 5th Annual Aftermath Study Released: An Analysis of Identity Theft Through the Victim's Eyes From the Identity Theft Resource Center http://tinyurl.com/6k53yy ITRC's 5th Annual Aftermath Study Released: An Analysis of Identity Theft Through the Victim's Eyes San Diego, CA: The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) released an important report today discussing the impact of identity theft victimization. Since 2003, the Identity Theft Resource Center has conducted annual victimization surveys to study the impact of identity theft crimes on its victims. Now in its fifth year, the report allows us to analyze the data, draw some conclusions, map trends and identify areas for further research. While ITRC reports the data in terms of percentages, it is critical that we remember those numbers are people. These are people with lives that have been interrupted, altered, torn apart and/or changed. According to several sources, The Aftermath is the only study of its kind. This study reflects only the experiences of confirmed identity theft victims who worked with the ITRC, and is not a census or general population-based study. The questions asked ranged from the emotional impact this crime has had on their lives all the way through to their ability to recover their good name. It includes the financial loss to the business community in goods and services.
