FTC Identity Theft Planning for the Future

The Federal Trade Commission hosted an all-day conference to take a comprehensive look at how identity theft has evolved over the last decade and what we can do to address this challenge in the future. Despite significant progress made to combat identity theft, it remains an issue for consumers a decade after the Identity Theft Task Force was established.

Kroll’s Ellen Abbott, Manager of Consumer Investigations with Kroll’s Identity Theft & Breach Notification practice, joined a panel of experts to discuss identity theft from the victim’s perspective, including financial and non-financial ramifications as well as the challenges victims face in recovering and restoring their identities.
