THEORY-
CYBER IDENTITY THEFT-
Identity theft occurs when an individual assumes the
identity of a target by unlawfully obtaining
and using the
target’s name, Social
Security number (SSN),
bank account number, or other identifying information to
commit a crime. Cyberidentity theft involves using social engineering tactics
(i.e., tactics designed
to deceive, manipulate,
and ulti-mately trick users into
revealing information) and other methods to steal a wide variety of data for
subsequent criminal use, for example, to obtain goods and services in the
target’s name. Basically, cyberidentity thieves engage in identity theft using
new means, namely, the Internet and digital technology. Cyberidentity theft
enables criminals to commit iden-tity theft with greater efficiency—often
harvesting vast amounts of personal data, finan-cial data,
and even medical
data in shorter
periods than using
traditional means (e.g.,
dumpster diving for
discarded mail and
documents containing personal
information). Identity theft online
and offline violates
the U.S. Identity Theft and
Assumption Deter-rence Act of
1998.Cyberidentity theft is
costly. The costs incurred by
victims are “lost
wages, medical expenses and expenses . . .
[associated with] restoring the integrity of [the person’s] iden-t it y.”77
Victims may also be denied lines of credit, loans, and even credit cards.
Addition-ally, victims can suffer a bad credit rating, resulting in an increase
in the rates for credit cards and loans they seek. Individuals may further
experience secondary victimization as a
result of cyberidentity
theft. The impact
a victim experiences
is directly related to
the victim’s ability to resolve
issues that arise with cyberidentity theft and the time it takes to resolve them.78
A person can
also experience significant
psychological and emotional
harm if unable to quickly resolve the cost incurred from identity theft.
