Muller) Subject: Fed Study on Identity Theft To: rah@shipwright.com I unsubscribed from e$pam over the holidays, so this item may already have been on, but if not it might be of interest: As required by legislation passed last year (partly in response to the P-TRAK fiasco), the Fed is required to study whether institutions that are not subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act are making sensitive personal identifying information available to the public, whether such information creates undue potential for fraud and for risk of loss to banks, and whether legislation is needed to address the risk of fraud and loss. The Fed has recently published a request for comments on these issues. Comments are due by January 31. The Fed release is at http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/boarddocs/press/BoardActs/1996/19961223 Have a happy, prosperous and reputation-enhancing 1997. -------------------------------------------------- The e$ lists are brought to you by: Intertrader Ltd - SMART '96 Winners for a Java e$ product Visit <http://www.intertrader.com/> for details ...
