STOLEN IDENTITY: A target of Wisconsin’s politically charged John Doe investigation say they are now the victim of identity theft. The target worries that personal and financial information seized in the John Doe raids may have gotten into the wrong hands.
GAB off the rails regarding records.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
It appears that Kelly Rindfleisch WILL see some jail time thanks to the John Doe. Part of me admits that those around Walker WERE found guilty of malfeasance by a jury of their peers, but the other part of me thinks this is just more of the same bad kettle of fish where this bogus John Doe is concerned. I hope her lawyer is serious about taking it all the way to the WISC!
My local Conserva Babe is no longer jumping to Kelly’s defense and you KNOW how we Conservatives are about not playing by the rules. I think THAT speaks volumes, too.

What say you? I mean I find it VERY HARD to believe that the Enemy Media isn’t all OVER this - I mean, they HATE Walker so much - and yet the ONLY media outlet that seems to be covering it is Wisconsin Reporter?
I’m very confused...
This kind of government abuse is why we have a Second Amendment.
So the State can raid your home, steal your possessions, aide criminals in stealing your identity but if you talk about it on record you go to jail. Stuff like this gives me a little understanding of the French Revolution.
How about every SEIU/AFSCME thug working in that corrupt DA's office?
Just a guess. ;~))
Due to the inherently insecure systems for establishing Identity including pointedly the Social Security system. Identity theft is going to be a growing problem. Unfortunately its only a matter of time before every last American has their identity information stolen & compromised Probably within the next decade or two given the current rate.
The problem of course is not only the simplistic nature of the information but the sheer number of parties that your required to give it to all but guarantees eventually one of them will be compromised, and it only takes one. Just a few months back Blue-Cross Blue Shield compromised 80 million of us nearly a 1/3 of the population. A few years back South Carolina compromised just about it’s entire population.
Even big organizations with all the IT security resources in the world can’t prevent such breaches, and a book could be written on all the inertly human based reasons why. {It really comes down to the simple fact that the environment we now live in gives everyone in the world 24/7 access to our ‘store’ yet we are only capable of guarding against a few people some of the time with general rules, all the while latterly everything is on our ‘store shelf’s’ waiting to be stolen.}
In any event there is an even greater point to be made, The only reason we know about theses breaches that have happened is because some smart IT people detected and identified the illegitimate activity the admired to it. This isn’t something a good hacker allows. Thus in short one companies personnel ‘won’ a battle with one of millions of hackers after the fact. How many did they and everyone else lose? Probably as many or more than they won, which means you can probably double or even triple the number of Compromised Americans out there, just as you can probably quadruple the number of compromised IT systems.
In light of this probability, as well as the constant stream of new attacks frankly it would be surprising if upwards of 95% of our population doesn’t end up having their Identity compromised sometimes in the next 20 or so years.
Thus this war as you might say, is already lost if your fighting it to protect the old Identity information. Given the simplistic nature of that ‘identity’ information being so heavily rooting heavily in the Social Security system which consist of little more than 4 useful digits and a name & maybe birth date. It is frankly surprising given modern computer technology that we haven’t lost a lot more.
Probably more a problem of better fruit to pick than anything else. No amount of Computer security break-thous at this point will ever change that which has already happened even if you could miraculously get everyone to adopt it now.
A new more secure system of Identity verification is required, and short of that a reordering of our Credit and tax system will be necessary to move away from such flimsy Identity dependency.
