There is no doubt that identity fraud is a great concern, especially in western countries where
people are most at risk. I think there are two main causes and a number of damaging effects.
The major cause is probably the almost universal use of digital technology to store financial
data and undertake financial transactions. It is surprisingly easy for criminals to obtain personal
information about a possible victim, and then to use this information to impersonate the target.
Because bank accounts and loans can be applied for digitally, without the need for face-to-face
contact, the criminals are able to apply for financial products remotely, often before the victim is even
aware of the attack. The second key cause is, I believe, the increasing probability of ‘traditional’
crimes (such as armed robbery, mugging or burglary) being detected. When criminals see the
widespread use of CCTV, DNA profiling and fingerprinting, they are less inclined to indulge in such
old-fashioned crimes. Rather, they prefer the lower risk and more profitable use of data-based
crimes.
The effects on the unfortunate victims can be quite devastating. Firstly, there is the loss of
money from bank accounts or by being connected to a fraudulent loan. In some cases, this can take
years for the victim to pay back or resolve with the banks and the authorities. Secondly, there is the
damage to their credit rating, which means they may find it impossible to obtain legitimate credit in the future. In extreme cases, people’s employment prospects can even be damaged as well, as they find
themselves profiled as a financial risk.
Overall, the presence of technology and the decline of ‘traditional’ crimes are the key causes
behind this trend. The effects on the victims involve long-term financial hardship in many instances.
