Re: dataloss (fringe) ID theft and US Law

["Paula Pierce" <ppierce () tlsc org>]

Here's a link to the amicus brief of the unnamed security experts
alluded to in the article:
http://www.abanet.org/publiced/preview/briefs/pdfs/07-08/08-108_Petition
erAmCuEPICLegalScholarsTechExperts.pdf

All of the entities who joined in the amicus are listed.

The Defendant in Flores-Figueroa says he made up a Social Security
number and did not know that it belonged to an actual person. I think
the most pertinent fact in the case is that he obviously knew that the
number did not belong to him!

Oral arguments are Wednesday.
