If somebody logs on and says they’re me, isn’t that identity theft? It should be.

That’s the way I see it, your password is like your
pin number etc. as far as the computer is concerned
it IS you.

These are federal charges?
If so he will do every day of them.

You were saying ...

If somebody logs on and says they’re me, isn’t that identity theft? It should be.

If that's the case, then you can say that the second someone cracks an account (any kind of account that someone has) -- then it's "identity theft" because they're pretending to be someone else.

Thus, every "hacker case" of breaking into some machine or some account, anywhere, -- every last one of them would be an "identity theft" ... (because you're pretending to be someone else) :-)
