OBAMA AND MY POST

This is my hundredth post which coincided with Obama’s inaguration.
CONGRATS OBAMA AND AMERICA!

ID THEFT

This was a quote from the Wall Street Journal.

Why Technology Won’t Prevent Identity Theft

“Impersonation isn’t new. In 1556, a Frenchman was executed for impersonating Martin Guerre and this week hackers impersonated Barack Obama on Twitter. It’s not even unique to humans: mockingbirds, Viceroy butterflies, and the brown octopus all use impersonation as a survival strategy. For people, detecting impersonation is a hard problem for three reasons: we need to verify the identity of people we don’t know, we interact with people through “narrow” communications channels like the telephone and Internet, and we want computerized systems to do the verification for us.”

Does this mean that we have to avoid anything electronic to prevent ID theft?
