notification (Score 1)

It requires a business or government entity to notify an individual in writing or email when it is believed that personal information - such as a Social Security number, driver's license, or credit card number - has been compromised. Only two exceptions to notification exist. First, upon the written request of law enforcement for purposes of a criminal investigation; and second, for national security purposes. You can't tell the true impact of identity theft by looking at the numbers. You see it in the stories of the victims.
