Internet Security ABC - Racing to Win the Race of Identity Theft

Racing to Win the Race of Identity Theft

Picture it...identity thieves are all about the world stealing identities for nearly every purpose, while the rest of us outside of crime are rushing to find strategies, tools, and other modus operandi to fight and win the thieves. We are off to the races battling each day hoping one of us does not fall into the hands of the thief, yet while you read this article and I write the article, someone's identity is being stolen right now!

In the Indi-500 cars race around a track with each driver hoping to be the winner of the race and once the driver winning the race reaches the goal line, he is awarded and appraised for his action. Thus, identity thieves are receiving awards each day they steal an identity, since technology, the law, media, and other sources are feeding them the tools to win the race of

crime.

Forensic Files shows case files where criminals commit acts and let the audience know how they gather evidence to apprehend the perpetrator. The media shows evidence, actions, crimes, and technical strategies to apprehending the criminal every day. While good people watch the show out of interest, criminals sit on a couch and watch the program, searching for strategies to commit the perfect crime and escape the law at the same time.

The criminals listen carefully how technology works, so that they can get one-step ahead of the designer before the program is available on the marketplace. Criminals practice, conjure up strategies, listen to case scenarios and compare, and so forth to commit the perfect crime. John Wayne Gacy, one of the world's infamous serial killer escaped the hands of the law, while operating under their noses. Many other known killers acting out crimes (in your face), yet no one knew who the criminal was.

Identity thieves are criminals and these people too will commit crimes (in your face) and escape the hands of the law without leaving traces behind when he leaves. The Internet connection has made it easier than ever for criminals to perpetrate the next to perfect crime and escape the law. We can see this is true when we think of the September 11 incident. The criminals stole identities, used them and few of those criminals escaped and are not caught to date. Thus, in this act alone, terrorism, theft, murder, embezzlement, and many other crimes were committed, and the crime alone left a world of victims standing, wondering when and if the perpetrators would pay for the crime. What a sad event, yet the reality are, these people studied, planned, and had motive and goals, plus other tools to commit a hideous crime and escape.

Therefore, all of us should consider winning the race of identity theft, since at any time all of us can fall into the hands of the perpetrators. Thieves are some of the trickiest and conniving people in the world that feed off desire, greed, deception, and so forth. If you watch Cold Files, Forensic Files, or other case files pictures you will hear stories about men or even women that have stolen billions of dollars are after ten years the perpetrators are not caught.

The perpetrators consist of lawyers, doctors, judges, wives, husbands, fathers, sons, daughters, mothers, clerks, religious leaders and the list continues. Likewise, the victims' of identity theft consist of lawyers, judges, mothers, fathers, religious leaders, government officials and the list continues. As you can see we are equilibrium in an unlawful race to fight for our rights to survive without suffer.

The sadness is financial processing, the World Wide Web, and other sources are making it easier than ever for thieves to get to the finish line. No one is to blame do not get me wrong, since when a person commits an act of crime, often the person committing the crime is solely to blame. The downside is that when a person is victim of identity theft, the entire world treats them like the perpetrator, thus winning the race is learning how to cope and deal with an inconsiderate world as well as the perpetrator.
