US Senate passes ground-breaking identity theft legislation
The US Senate has passed a new Bill that will allow victims of online ID theft cases to automatically seek compensation against the criminals concerned, without having to go to the civil courts. Experts say that the new Bill redresses the balance in favour of victims of ID theft, since it will effectively allow the criminal courts in the US to award damages to the victim.
Newswire reports say that the Senate passed the Identity Theft Enforcement and Restitution Act unanimously late last week.
