The Javelin Identity Fraud Survey Report provides consumers and businesses an in-depth and comprehensive examination of identity fraud in the United States. Its purpose is to help readers understand the causes and incidence rates of identity fraud and the success rates of methods used for its prevention, detection and resolution.
About Javelin’s I.D. Fraud Research
Javelin publishes several major independent research studies each year on the subject of data security, risk and fraud, including our annual identity fraud survey report, banking safety scorecard, credit card issuer safety scorecard, and identity protection services scorecard.
Javelin’s identity fraud survey report is co-sponsored by organizations committed to educating and helping consumers and businesses reduce their risk of identity fraud. This study is made possible by Fiserv, Intersections, Inc., and Wells Fargo & Company, along with the Better Business Bureau and ITAC (identity theft assistance corporation, representing 40 financial institutions, payments providers, and vendors).
To preserve the project’s independence and objectivity, the sponsors of the identity fraud survey report were not involved in the tabulation, analysis or reporting of final results. Javelin retains complete independence of data analysis and reporting, and the report has been created solely by Javelin employees.
