Although identity theft is not a new crime, the advent and growth of information technology has increased the capacity for an identity thief to access a consumer's personal information and use such information fraudulently. The federal government recognized the pervasiveness of identity theft more than a decade ago when it enacted the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, which criminalized identity theft crimes.
