1. Comment - Study: ID Theft from Data Breaches Rare

   (Dec 12, 2005 - 2:52 PM)

   It's becoming more accepted that the internet/online shopping isn't the big culprit in ID/CC theft. I first heard this on NPR and then on 20/20 not too long ago. Think of it - if your CC# is stolen/misused, the first thing you think of is some internet transaction you made. Well, why not think about the hundreds of times you've used your card to buy gas, groceries or food at a restaurant? After all, at a restaurant you give your CC to the waiter and he disappears for 10 minutes! What happens during that time? ALOT COULD happen - he could have a cardreader in the back, or just simply write down all the information on the card. Theft is probably alot more complicated than this, but I have more confidence in shopping online (on my own PC mind you) than handing my CC to a stranger.

   3% of 100 = 3 machines per 100 ~ 1 for every 33.3333 machine ~ on average, 1 of every 34 machines is affected.
