Some 50 million identities have been compromised or stolen in the last six months alone. It’s an infuriating, never-ending battle against determined hackers and identity thieves who are constantly probing for our names, dates of birth, credit cards, Social Security numbers, bank accounts, pin numbers and passwords.

It’s enough to provoke police in Springfield, Ore., to make a sobering admission.

“We can’t protect you,” says Detective Robert Conrad. “We can’t protect your identity. We’re left with picking up the pieces after it’s been stolen.”
