SAN DIEGO — Obscured by headlines about millions of possibly breached identities is the simple fact that the actual act of fraud may be relatively rare.
An analysis of more than a dozen data breaches affecting more than 10 million identities by ID Analytics Inc. found that, in fact, the chances can be downright miniscule, and when they do occur, it's often credit cards sent to specific addresses following an internal data theft that's to blame.
San Diego-based ID Analytics provides identity scoring technology to a range of clients, including government agencies, wireless carriers and credit card issuers. The company also operates the ID Network, which it calls the nation's only real-time, cross-industry compilation of identity information used to spot and prevent identity fraud.
