Didn't the press used to call it "credit card fraud" before "teh Internets" came along? Calling it "identity theft" seems to shift the focus to the victim instead of the merchants and banks, where it belongs.
As I saw the other day (and can't re-locate at the moment, so please forgive the lack of link and proper attribution, and the paraphrasing): Customer: So, someone claimed to be me? Bank: Yes. Customer: And they successfully fooled you? Bank: Yes. Customer: And you gave them some of your money? Bank: Yes Customer: Good luck solving YOUR problem. ---Rsk _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
