For this assignment you are to find 3 real-world examples of identity theft, preferably medical id theft, but any type will be accepted. One of the examples should be your own if you were an id theft victim (I personally have been a financial id theft victim twice) or someone you know. This will allow you to know the details of how the theft occurred and how it was handled. One of the examples must come from research news stories and other resources found on the Web. Provide a link to each website in your report.. The final example may be personal or a news story. For each case, identify the type of ID theft that occurred, and answer these questions: what did the thief do (if known) to acquire the information, how was it discovered, what were the damages incurred, how long did it take to resolve the problems caused by the id theft?.
