A new Javelin Strategy and Research study http://www.internetnews.com/ec-news/article.php/3581601 shows that online sources of ID fraud are declining and that they weren't by any means the brunt of the problem in the first place. Only nine percent of ID fraud incidents were attributed to hacking, viruses or phishing. The classic stolen wallet accounted for 30 percent of the incidents. Fully 70 percent of the incidents occurred via non-online means.
