After reading this article I was very concerned. I didn't know how much of someones identity was available over the internet. In this article, a woman named, Betty Ostergren, has been doing research on the internet, finding people's information and reporting it. She said most people are surprised how much information is posted online.
Betty Ostergren has found many famous peoples information online, along with 1,000's of other peoples. She reports this information back to the people so that they are concerned about what information is being posted online and seen by criminals.
A company, TrustedID, has come up with a system that you can go and check to see if your information has been stolen or not. TrustedID said in the article "about 220,000 people had tested their numbers in the three weeks the site has been open to the public." I believe this website will be good for people because they can make sure their identity hasn't been stolen.
