SEC to require programs to prevent identity theft

identity theft The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has decided to require those they regulate to adopt programs to detect and prevent identity theft.

The rule only applies to SEC-regulated entities that are defined as “financial institutions” or “creditors” under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
