Abstract

Identity theft or identity fraud is often seen in combination with personal personal identifiers that people possess for getting access to a system or a physical area. The personal personal identifier might be something a person knows or owns. In this article, the most common techniques of identity theft and how these are investigated in forensic terms are discussed. Examples are given for identity theft, such as skimming and fishing.
