Baseline Magazine (my absolute favourite of all the free magazines). A rather scary story regarding data security and what kinds of things can happen when your identity is stolen. Choice Point is the company under the gun here - or maybe the metaphor should be microscope - and their peculiar responses regarding where their responsibilities end and what travails people need to undergo to recover from such incidents.

The scary thing here is how omingled all of our data is, how dependent Choice Point is on upstream data providers to submit good data - and how we (the people) are simply pawns that are almost powerless to correct such data. The time taken to correct some of the errors are staggering - 4-5 years seems to be run of the mill.
