| Identity Theft Protection |
| Each week we read of a new loss of personal data that threatens thousands of Americans with identity theft. In this age of electronic banking and internet transactions, it is easier than ever to have your personal data stolen. Almost every state, including New York, have responded to this threat by enacting laws that allow individuals to protect themselves from identity theft by controlling access to their credit report and the personal data it contains. I am working in congress to expand this “file freeze” protection at the national level and enhance notification requirements when personal data is lost.
