not really. however Privacy Rights Clearinghouse reports that 100,000,000 personal records have ended up in criminal hands since 2005. See: http://www.privacyrights.org/ar/chrondatabreaches.htm
That does not mean 100 million people have become victims of identity theft. And there is no reason to believe that these records have ended someone's hand who plans to abuse them. But with US population of 295,734,134 (CIA numbers) there is good chance that one of friend is a potential identity theft victim. saqib http://www.full-disk-encryption.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
