Interview with Jay Foley of the Identity Theft Resource

Financial scams and incidents of medical identity theft are on the rise - and they're among the main threats to business and consumers in 2010.

This is the warning from Jay Foley, executive director of the Identity Theft Resource Center. In an exclusive interview, Foley discusses:

  • The major ID theft threats and trends for 2010;
  • The industries most at risk;
  • What information security professionals can do to help prevent ID theft.

Responding to an explosive rise in identity theft crimes, Jay and Linda Foley established the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) in 1999 in order to provide education and victim assistance to consumers and businesses. As Executive Director of the ITRC, Jay is today recognized nationally as an expert on identity theft issues.

Frequently addressing national, state and community organizations, Jay travels throughout the United States providing training for businesses, consumers and law enforcement. He has appeared before state legislatures and in Congress recommending new laws to protect against the crime of identity theft and he is a regular on San Diego news programs.
