Whenever we talk about Real ID, the coming U.S. internal passport, we talk about the ways in which Real ID raises the risk of identity theft. Real ID will require the creation of massive new government databases of personal information, including Social Security numbers. Serious security breaches could compromise the data of pretty much everyone in the country.
To find out more about identity theft itself, check out the Massachusetts-based blog I've Been Mugged, named for the initials of its creator's former employer. IBM lost and exposed George Jenkins' personal information, and inspired him to start blogging about the issue.

Thanks for the "shout-out" about my identity theft blog. You and your readers may also be interested in my recent correspondence with Mass. Attorney General Coakley's office about the new identity law which started November 1, 2007.
