In December 2003, Congress passed the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) which requires that anyone who has or maintains consumer information for a “business purpose” must use reasonable measures to ensure that no one gains unauthorized access to it. On June 1, 2005, the new employee identity-theft regulation went fully into effect. Failure to comply can result in:
- Potentially huge actual damages;
- Statutory damages of up to $1,000 per employee;
- Civil fines of up to $2,500 per employee;
- Class-action lawsuits.
