Abstract
Identity theft is a crime that has had, especially in the last five or six years, an exponential growth, due, on the one hand, the extreme ease of perpetrate and the other of equal difficulty to identify those responsible.
So this criminal practice is finding fertile ground in Italy that the same business associations, banks and consumers have been forced to set up the tools and training activities aimed at the protection of its members, users and all citizens in order to prevent means the most appropriate possible the commission of this offense. While at institutional level, despite a law expressly so provides, appears increasingly urgent implementation of the project shared between market players and institutions aimed at creating a public system of prevention and monitoring on identity theft or fraud by impersonation that enable easier control on ‘authenticity of personal data (Legislative Decree no. 11 April 2011, n. 64).
Now among citizens it is perceived diffusely the need to know how to protect themselves: the tools and steps that can be taken when you realize that they were victims of identity theft.
From a strictly legal identity theft it is made to coincide mainly with the crime of impersonation art. 494 of the Criminal Code. This enabled the judiciary to react quickly to the occurrence of this type of crime. However, the main effort should be made also during the criminal investigation and the ability to be able to identify the perpetrators of the crime. In the web conference we will be given some tools that can be recurring and will discuss the latest decisions published on identity theft.
In all this protection and civil damages are important, significant, given the difficulty in these situations to identify the culprit. Situations related to identity theft such as phishing often show that the cd phisher is pretty hard to take especially if you live abroad, while the capture of financial manager (or the person to whom they are made unauthorized transfers) – the most easy to identify – not easily enables you to recover the sum unlawfully appropriated. The victim, where circumstances permit, occurs so more and more often to the judicial authorities in the civil courts or to alternative care, respectively for appropriate compensation for pecuniary and non-pecuniary or refund more quickly than the sum withdrawn.
