8000 Military Compromised by ID Theft Ring

For those of you concerned about protecting our servicemembers, this story from Dallas/Ft Worth.

Although technically, this is Bank Fraud, the fact that servicemembers were targeted caught my attention and they could have set this up differently had they wanted. Someone else may have already tried a broader scope of crime:

"In all, the identities of over 8,000 servicemen were compromised."

In an effort to put Military items together here is a link about USAF SSGT David Hernandez who suffered 4 of the 5 primary types of ID Theft:

1. Financial
2. Driver's License
3. Character/Criminal
4. Social Security
