Ms sleena..I dont understand the part where we are suppose to discuss about the possible threats to identity theft..Could you please explain more on it..Thnx..

the possible threats are referring to what would happen to the person who has their identity being ’stolen’ by irresponsible people, especially the ones that involves online transactions. One example would be, you will have to bear the consequences of paying the monthly bill payment, eventhough u dont register for any account for that matter…that will be one..
Do refer to your text book for some guide…* brainstorming session in here are very much welcome…

Why can’t cybercrimes or cybercriminals be stopped?
I would say that this is due to the fact that the internet is so wide and it is litherally impossible to trace a person location only by its ip address ( if u can even get that in the first place ) Let’s say for example, if u caught a person in action and have his ip address and with the help from the FBI and thier tracing technology and some how caught its location.. Still do u think authorities will make there in time before he realises? and gets away? Also the world is so wide and hackers can operate anytime and anywhere and there are just so many of them. I would say that, as long as the internet exist there can never be a stop to this.
Prevention however, is very much possible.
My advise is never give them a chance. This litherally means you don’t use any risky programs that in anyway link your computer to another without sufficient security. For example, the first phase, connecting your computer to the internet automatically links your computer to millions of server and computers world wide. So as a first line of defense your router firewall would be sufficient. Secondly never click yes to any adds at all cause thats like allowing that particular add to fly straight through all your line of defense.
Therefore my theory is never leave your door open. Of couse there is still the risk of someone breaking in, buts thats still better then inviting them in.
Possible threats to identity theft,
Puts you into suspicion of authorities all over the world
Can’t travel out of your country
If credit card got stolen, would have to pay the bills while your thief enjoys the benefit of slicing your card till it hits the limit
There cant be all sorts of consequences of losing your identity, prevention can be achiever like i said. Never let your seld expose to danger is your main line of defense.

The growing danger from crimes committed against computers, or against information on computers, is beginning to claim attention in national capitals. In most countries around the world, however, existing laws are likely to be unenforceable against such crimes. This lack of legal protection means that businesses and governments must rely solely on technical measures to protect themselves from those who would steal, deny access to, or destroy valuable information.
Self-protection, while essential, is not sufficient to make cyberspace a safe place to conduct business. The rule of law must also be enforced. Countries where legal protections are inadequate will become increasingly less able to compete in the new economy. As cyber crime increasingly breaches national borders, nations perceived as havens run the risk of having their electronic messages blocked by the network. National governments should examine their current statutes to determine whether they are sufficient to combat the kinds of crimes discussed in this report. Where gaps exist, governments should draw on best practices from other countries and work closely with industry to enact enforceable legal protections against these new crimes.
This report analyzes the state of the law in 52 countries. It finds that only ten of these nations have amended their laws to cover more than half of the kinds of crimes that need to be addressed. While many of the others have initiatives underway, it is clear that a great deal of additional work is needed before organizations and individuals can be confident that cyber criminals will think twice before attacking valued systems and information.

Cybercrimes and cybercriminals cant be stopped because the internet is so wide and in the online world, tracking someone would be hard because he/she may use a fake identity but although there is a chance to track them trough their ip address, its only a 50/50 thing.
Identity theft is a catch-all term for crimes involving illegal usage of another individual’s identity. The most common form of identity theft is credit card fraud. While the term is relatively new, the practice of stealing money or getting other benefits by pretending to be a different person is thousands of years old.
Identity theft divides into 3 categories. Financial identity theft , identity cloning and concealment, and criminal identity theft. In most cases, a criminal needs to obtain personally identifiable information or documents about an individual in order to impersonate them.
In order to prevent an identity theft, a person has to be very careful when dealing with online transactions that involves money, credit cards , and even banking online.

An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radiowaves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.
There are one website we can use to prevent this happen is http://www.trustedid.com.They are a lot of crimal on computer nowaday they will start hacking ur files. Countries where legal protections are inadequate will become increasingly less able to compete in the new economy. As cyber crime increasingly breaches national borders, nations perceived as havens run the risk of having their electronic messages blocked by the network.
Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a (RF) signal, and other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. A technology called chipless RFID allows for discrete identification of tags without an integrated circuit, thereby allowing tags to be printed directly onto assets at a lower cost than traditional tags.
Today, a significant thrust in RFID use is in enterprise supply chain management, improving the efficiency of inventory tracking and management. However, a threat is looming that the current growth and adoption in enterprise supply chain market will not be sustainable. A fair cost-sharing mechanism, rational motives and justified returns from RFID technology investments are the key ingredients to achieve long-term and sustainable RFID technology adoption

Examples of extended capability RFID tag technologies include EPC C1G2 with extended memory (e.g. 64Kb), battery-assisted passive, and active RFID. Battery-assisted passive, also known as semi-passive or semi-active, has the ability to extend the read range of standard passive technologies to well over 50 meters, to read around challenging materials such as metal, to withstand outdoor environments, to store an on-tag database, to be able to capture sensor data, and to act as a communications mechanism for external devices. Also, battery-assisted passive only transmits a signal when interrogated, thus extending battery life. Active RFID, which can have some of the features of battery-assisted passive, is commonly used for even longer distances and real-time locationing. It also actively transmits a signal, which often results in shorter battery life.
Transportation payments
RFID in a form of a sticker with bar code on the opposite side.
An Electronic Road Pricing gantry in Singapore. Gantries such as these collect tolls in high-traffic areas from active RFID units in vehicles.
PayPass RFID chip removed from a MasterCard.Throughout Europe, and in particular in Paris (system started in 1995 by the RATP), Lyon and Marseille in France, Porto and Lisbon in Portugal, Milan, Turin, and Florence in Italy, and Brussels in Belgium, RFID passes conforming to the Calypso (RFID) international standard are used for public transport systems. They are also used now in Canada (Montreal), Mexico, Israel, Bogotá and Pereira in Colombia, Stavanger in Norway, etc.
T-money cards can be used to pay for public transit in Seoul and surrounding cities. Some other South Korean cities have adopted the system, which can also be used in some stores as cash. T-money replaced Upass, first introduced for transport payments in 1996 using MIFARE technology.
JR East in Japan introduced SUICa (Super Urban Intelligent Card) for transport payment service in its railway transportation service in November 2001, using Sony’s FeliCa (Felicity Card) technology. The same Sony technology was used in Hong Kong’s Octopus card, and Singapore’s EZ-Link card.
In Hong Kong, mass transit is paid for almost exclusively through the use of an RFID technology, called the Octopus Card. Originally it was launched in September 1997 exclusively for transit fare collection, but has grown to be similar to a cash card, and can still be used in vending machines, fast-food restaurants and supermarkets. The card can be recharged with cash at add-value machines or in shops, and can be read several centimetres from the reader. The same applies for Delhi Metro, the rapid transit system in New Delhi, capital city of India.

cybercrime is usually restricted to describing criminal activity in which the computer or network is an essential part of the crime, this term is also used to include traditional crimes in which computers or networks are used to enable the illicit activity.Examples of cybercrime which the computer or network is a tool of the criminal activity include spamming and criminal copyright crimes, particularly those facilitated through peer-to-peer networks. Cybercriminals are hard to track because they can only be detcted by their ip address. It is nearly impossible to catch a cybercriminal who knows their ways through the internet. Cybercriminals has been here since the start of the internet world. Stealing identities, forging credit cards, hacking into accounts. The only way to prevent cybercrims would be to be more aware and take necessary precautious steps like reducing risks by being careful when dealing online. Banking, credits mainly.you can go to http://www.trustedid.com miss just now in ridf i type wrong sorry for all the causes..=(
