What is the US Government doing about identity theft?
The government is doing a number of things. The Federal Trade Commission has set up a system to report identity theft. They are working with state and federal officials such as the FBI, state Attorneys General, and the police to investigate and prosecute identity thieves. In addition, many states, including Indiana, have passed security breach notification laws and credit freeze laws to help people know about breaches and protect their credit. The US government is also coordinating with other countries because this is a global problem.
