Identity Theft
Identity theft is a serious problem affecting millions of people each year. It involves acquiring key pieces of someone's identifying information, such as name, address, date of birth, social security number and mother's maiden name, in order to impersonate them. This information enables the identity thief to commit numerous forms of fraud which include, but are not limited to, taking over the victim's financial accounts, opening new bank accounts, purchasing automobiles, applying for loans, credit cards and social security benefits, renting apartments, and establishing services with utility and phone companies.

regarding computers and safety on the Internet.
Corporate outreach services are provided to educate and inform corporate entities, as well as institutions of higher education within the State, of
the dangers and vulnerabilities of wired and wireless networks. A state cyber-crimes response group has been established and maintained for incident response

allows the unit to address cyber vulnerabilities and response.
With the growing popularity and use of computers, the unit has seen a significant increase in conducting and assisting with investigations where computers are being
