ID Theft Crooks Take On New York and LA

Despite an overall decrease in identity theft rates, it looks like the crooks have simply moved to greener pastures…

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New Yorkers, especially around New York City, and Californians, especially around Los Angeles, are more likely to be targets of identity theft, according to a new study.

The study released Wednesday by ID Analytics Inc., a San Diego fraud security firm, found that New York, California and Nevada have the highest incidence of attempted identity theft, while Wyoming, Vermont and Montana have the lowest rates.
