Identity theft is a crime used to refer to fraud that involves someone pretending to be someone else in order to steal money or get other benefits. With the digital age, identity theft is a major problem world-wide involving BILLIONS of dollars in theft. The term is relatively new and is actually a misnomer, since it is not inherently possible to steal an identity, only to use it. But, that’s not the direction I want to go.
