Identity theft schemes are evolving and becoming increasingly more sophisticated. With this in mind, we need to be alert to the fact that breach rates will continue to increase.
Perpetrators are continually looking to exploit large scale data breaches. Identity theft has been tagged "the crime of the information age" and is on the mind of most Canadians.
Increasingly, institutions are offering purchased restoration coverage, however, these policies/programs are for the most part, reimbursement-based. Due to the reimbursement nature of the benefits, the victim remains largely responsible for self-navigation through the potentially complex restoration process.
