MSNBC, you aren't making news, you are making a commentary
MSNBC has a news piece on their site about the prison records online. Well they appear with Social, Name, blah... Here is the article that was posted on MSNBC:
ID thieves mine for gold on jail sites Online public records give Social Security numbers and more By Bob Sullivan MSNBC May 12 - If keeping Social Security numbers off the Internet is a bit like trying to plug holes in a leaky dam, the U.S. justice system has left a floodgate open. Dozens of law enforcement Web pages list names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, heights and weights - everything an identity thief needs to impersonate a victim.
Sometimes there's even a photo. The dossiers belong to prison inmates and wanted criminals; the sites that list them have become user-friendly shopping malls for identity thieves.
