POPStrust in social networking used to spread viruses
If the online "Trust" network breaksdown, then you get a pretty bad week for social networking in general. To an internet fraudster an identity is worth £80, suggests research from the UK's Get Safe Online campaign. The same study revealed that in 2008 23% of net users fell victim to phishing attacks - far higher than the 8% it claims were caught out in 2007. Small wonder that Britain has been described as being in the midst of a cyber crimewave. Here the BBC offers some advice about how to stay safe online. How bad is identity fraud? In 2006, a government estimate put the cost of ID theft at £1.7bn a year. In 2007 Cifas - the UK's fraud prevention service - helped more than 65,000 victims of ID fraud and theft.

POPSHundreds Arrested In Immigration Raids At Poultry Plants
Federal authorities carried out the sweeps Wednesday, arresting hundreds of workers at Pilgrim's Pride chicken plants on charges of identity theft, document fraud and immigration violations. More than 25 people face immigration violation charges in Live Oak, Fla. They will also face identity theft or document fraud charges, ICE said. More than 20 were arrested in Batesville, Ark., on federal warrants for alleged document fraud or identity theft. DJs on a Spanish-language radio station told listeners to be careful Wednesday after reporting news of the raid. After the arrests, many of the dozens of businesses in town that cater to Latino immigrants had few customers or none at all. ''It's sad and scary,'' said Sheita Delacruz, who works at her mother's dress and gift shop. The poultry raids were the largest of the immigration enforcement actions across the country Wednesday. It was at least the fourth round of raids at U.S. poultry plants in the past three years.
