ITRC's 5th Annual Aftermath Study Released: An Analysis of Identity
Theft Through the Victim's Eyes

San Diego, CA: The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) released an
important report today discussing the impact of identity theft
victimization. Since 2003, the Identity Theft Resource Center has
conducted annual victimization surveys to study the impact of identity
theft crimes on its victims. Now in its fifth year, the report allows
us to analyze the data, draw some conclusions, map trends and identify
areas for further research. While ITRC reports the data in terms of
percentages, it is critical that we remember those numbers are people.
These are people with lives that have been interrupted, altered, torn
apart and/or changed.

According to several sources, The Aftermath is the only study of its
kind. This study reflects only the experiences of confirmed identity
theft victims who worked with the ITRC, and is not a census or general
population-based study. The questions asked ranged from the emotional
impact this crime has had on their lives all the way through to their
ability to recover their good name. It includes the financial loss to
the business community in goods and services.
