Kevin Poulsen at Wired Debunked Javeline's Identity Theft Report already, but I can't help myself from lending an outraged voice to the matter.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen such a blatant spinning of the facts to meet the desires of a research sponsor. Read this statement from Javelin's report, which was funded by Wells Fargo and Intersections, Inc., an online identity protection company:
"Despite the hefty blame - largely perpetuated by the media - placed on the Internet and cyber-crime, online identity theft methods (phishing, hacking and malware) only accounted for 11% of fraud cases in 2008."
How did they reach that absolutely amazing and so absolutely inaccurate statement?
