Forum on IT Law and Identity Theft - 2008/11/11 18:19According to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 2006, 1 of every 8 American had their identity 'stolen' on the Net. Someone pretending to be you using your name on the Net can do much damage to you.

Identity Theft in Cyber Space - a very serious problem - 2008/11/17 12:57In April 2004, the New Straits Times focus on this issue of Identity Theft in Cyber Space.
A case on point is the case of Edward Anderton an American Ivy League graduate who was sentenced to a 4 year jail term for stealing identities and living a lavish live at other people's expense, of course. See link:- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,451944,00.html
The Information Technology Law Committee of KL Bar views this problem to be a serious one. The upcoming Forum this Thursday is a platform to discuss this issue. The Forum will host 3 great speakers, and we hope as many people as possible will attend. Entrance is Free.
Thanks
