Identity Theft, 10 Million Victims, Expert and Speaker Robert Siciliano www.IDTheftSecurity.com

In 2008, the number of identity theft cases jumped 22 percent to 9.9 million, according to a study released Monday by Javelin Strategy & Research. The good news is that the cost per incident — including losses and legal fees — fell 31 percent to $496. One reason for the spike in cases is likely the worsening economy. Just last month, 598000 jobs were slashed across the country and unemployment jumped to 7.6 percent. www.IDTheftSecurty.com
