Identity Theft

So i read a couple of blogs on identity theft, and learned something very interesting. According to one of the blogs on November 1, 2008 new identity theft regulations are going into effect. Colleges and universities are going to be effected by this because, it requires colleges and universities to put indenitity theft prevention programs into effect at the individual schools for new accounts. I think this is good because alot of students and staff sign onto school internet everyday, trusting it to protect from idenity theft, and yet is sounds like most schools dont. It also talks about consumer reporting agencies doing the same things, when they are working for schools and alerting school when they see discrepences in the finding.
