Review: I would love to see the credit agencies held legally accountable for any incorrect data they assign to one's identity, with full monetary compensation awarded for damages.

Review: Font size was fine for me. Laws that need to be passed are ones that address standards that at a minimum companies need to address. It's hard to get standards, however if they bite off small chunks, as oppossed to trying to solve all, it helps. As an example, encryption, enforcing data in transport is protected and sensitive data in rest, is a good place to start. Yes, I know access, change control, layered defense, tracking, awareness, etc are all key, but start somewhere. At lesat PCI standards had clarity and kept in simple.

Review: I was one of the "lucky" ones to have their information stolen. After putting a fraud alert on my credit, I found out from credit report how much obscure and outright bogus was in them. None of the three credit reporting agencies had the same information. After fighting with them for 4 months, numerous phone calls and documentation back and forth, they are fairly close in content now. I'm keeping a closer eye on them now and in the future. Passing a law to keep your data safe is one that will help, but there should be a law making these agencies that can effectively ruin your life responsible for the bogus information they are reporting on you.

Review: Your font is so small that it is difficult to read and does not respond to the text sizing tool in IE. So I didn't bother to read.
