While there is no
generally accepted definition nor consistent use of the term, identity theft
commonly involves criminal acts of fraudulently (without his or her knowledge
or consent) obtaining and using another persons identity information. The term
identity fraud is sometimes used as a synonym, although it also encompasses
the use of a false, not necessarily real, identity.
Cybercrime Convention
Committee (T-CY)
Identity theft is
the theft of the credentials that we use to do business. When access controls
are inadequate, the credentials that people use to authenticate to their credit
card companies, banks or shopping sites may be disclosed to the wrong people.
In addition, thieves have developed many ways to use e-mail and the Internet to
collect this information.
Once perpetrators
have the information they can use it as if they were the victim, running up
credit card debt, or taking money out of bank accounts or investment savings.

is where a crook
obtains key pieces of personal information, such as Social Security number,
drivers license information, name, address, mothers maiden name, and more so
that they can impersonate a real person. The crook can then assume that persons
identity. There are really two variants here: a crook can open new accounts in
a victims name, this is referred to true account identity theft, or the crook
can use the personal information to gain access to victims existing accounts,
which is often referred to as account takeover identity theft.

Identity theft is
a crime in which an imposter obtains key pieces of personal information, such
as Social Security or driver's license numbers, in order to impersonate someone
else. The information can be used to obtain credit, merchandise, and services
in the name of the victim, or to provide the thief with false credentials. In
addition to running up debt, an imposter might provide false identification to
police, creating a criminal record or leaving outstanding arrest warrants for
the person whose identity has been stolen.
