Just curious: what loss did you suffer because of that ?
Wha problems did you experience ?
IMHO the most likely scanrio is someone stolen a *piece of hardware*
and quickly erased all data which could identify previous owner.
Including 1 milion of ID's.

I had an unscrupulous shop clerk copy my check numbers once. He was able
to go to the bank and get a clerk to issue him a counter check on my
account, which he then cashed for $2,000. Shop clerk went to prison,
bank eventually made up the loss and bank clerk was "promoted to the
sidewalk" (Fired) for failing to follow bank procedures with respect to
identification. This happened 20+ years ago, before identity theft
became such a big issue.
