"The 2010 Identity Fraud Report shows that fraud increased for the second straight year and is at the highest rate since Javelin began this report in 2003. The good news is consumers are getting more aggressive in monitoring, detecting and preventing fraud with the help of technology and partnerships with financial institutions, government agencies and resolution services. Through IDSafety.net and our consumer report, Javelin and our sponsor partners are working to educate consumers and provide strategic guidelines and tips to help them safeguard their personal information."

"The latest findings from the Identity Fraud Survey Report show why an accurate awareness of the facts is so crucial in defending against crimes of impersonation. Although more crime is being committed, by providing education that enables both consumers and business to focus on the right action steps, we can make real progress fighting identity fraud together."
