Some Say Federal Agencies Slacking When it Comes To Identity Theft

By KEIRABENSON — WMDT 2/22/2008

Officials from the Government Accountability Office say federal agencies are slacking when it comes to preventing identity theft. Back in 2006 they say they issued recommendations aimed at protecting personal information.

Friday they say only two federal agencies have met all of those recommendations, 18 have met some of them and two have met none of them.
