Feds Ready Plan to Fight ID Theft
 

The federal government will release its plan to combat identity theft in the U.S. on Monday.
After nearly a year's work, the President's Identity Theft Task Force will release its findings Monday at a press event in the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) offices, the FTC said in a media alert.
The task force was created by presidential order last May, just before the public disclosure of a data leak at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which put the personal information of 26.5 million veterans at risk. The task force is co-chaired by FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras and U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
