Who on earth thought it was a good idea that a commercial entity be a broker of background and private information? Sales of private information really is a troubling trend in the U.S. When someone can simply send a cheque to a company and gain access to information on folks ranging from social security numbers to mother’s maiden names it reduces identity theft to a mere formality. The California authorities think that as many as 400,000 consumer records may have been comprimised. This is really terrifying stuff.
