Identity Theft Poses Extra Troubles for Children (@ronlieber @nytimes)

With recent data breaches at places like Anthem Blue Cross, identity theft is giving many people real cause for concern. But, as Ron Lieber discuses, what's even more concerning than having their own identity stolen is the theft of their children's identities.


"Children’s credit reports are clean. That’s attractive to people who want to begin their financial lives anew for any number of reasons. Plus, minors don’t check their credit reports or review monthly bills the way grown-­ups do, which means thieves may not get caught for years or even decades."
