What is preventing law enforcement from arresting the growth in identity theft cases?
Some identity theft rings have been broken up with arrests made. For example, an arrest was made with regard to the widely publicized ChoicePoint data leak. However, in many individual cases, it is not always easy to establish who perpetrated a fraud. If a person uses an account opened under a false name, SSN, and address, it may not be easy to track that individual down.
