A ~2300 word "posting" with at least 20 different related links.... http://www.jonesday.com/pubs/pubs_detail.aspx?pubID=S5427 On December 4, 2003, the President signed into law the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ("FACTA"). FACTA was enacted by Congress to provide consumers with increased protection from identity theft. The regulations directed six agencies to jointly "establish and maintain guidelines…[that] identify patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that indicate the possible existence of identity theft."[1] Accordingly, the six agencies published the final regulations on November 9, 2007, and those regulations became effective January 1, 2008.[2] However, compliance with the regulations is not mandatory until November 1, 2008.[3] The final regulations contain three parts. First, they require covered entities to create a written identity theft program designed to detect, prevent, and mitigate identity theft in connection with certain covered accounts (the "Red Flag Rules" or the "Rules"). Second, the regulations impose requirements on consumer reporting agencies related to discrepancies between an address contained in a request for a consumer report and the address in the consumer reporting agency's file. Third, the regulations impose requirements on debit and credit card issuers to implement procedures to assess the validity of address changes under certain circumstances. _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tenable Network Security offers data leakage and compliance monitoring solutions for large and small networks.
