When is Identity Theft not Identity Theft?

Drawing the line at cyber-harassment

Notes from our Chairman, Adam K. Levin

If you ever wondered how vast and unpredictable a frontier the Internet can be, ask any victim of online slander or financial fraud. An identity comprises numerous pieces of data, and misuse of any of those pieces can prove to be devastating, be it financially or socially. But which pieces of our identity are--or should be--protected by identity theft laws? Does cyber-harassment really amount to identity theft? Right now, it's up to the individual states to decide. Some already have, and think that it does. We're not so sure we agree with them.
In this month's newsletter, "Cyber-Bullying, Identity Theft-- or Both?" outlines recent harassment cases brought before the courts under identity theft laws. This month's editorial, "Invading OurSpace," recognizes the dire need to address online harassment but warns that this emerging trend could be detrimental to the fight against identity theft.
