Could education be the key?

"Educating the entire population is key to early detection and ultimately prevention of the crime in the first place," said Kirk Herath, chief privacy officer and associate general counsel for Nationwide. "In addition, providing support in the identity recovery phase can speed response time, protect assets and preserve an individual's integrity."
The survey results also indicated African Americans also are more likely than other victims to have the crime target their checking or savings account.
