Info for ID-theft victims

This isn't about our usual kid-tech topic, but it may come in handy if anyone you know has the misfortune of experiencing identity theft. And the ChoicePoint debacle (the consumer-info clearinghouse having been tricked by an identity-theft ring into revealing the profiles of nearly 150,000 people last fall) has been in the news a lot lately. Slate.com took the time to answer the question: What do I do if identity theft has happened to me? Here's more from USATODAY, including a chart showing how many residents in each state have had personal info stolen from ChoicePoint. I *really* hope none of you need this information! [Here's the big picture from the New York Times on the law and commercial data vendors like ChoicePoint.]
