Dumpster Diver David Dright - Arrested
You may not know David Dright, but there are some merchants and creditors who do, but they know him as any one of 27 Lake County, IL residents or perhaps as one of almost 90 professional baseball players.
Dright, from Chicago, was arrested for identity theft. The personal information on the baseball players, including Chicago White Sox slugger Jim Thome and New York Mets outfielder Moises Alou, was potentially obtained at SFX Baseball Inc., a sports agency that deals with Major League Baseball. Dumpster diving was one way he obtained information, based on the evidence found in his home. This included included Social Security numbers, dates of birth, canceled paychecks, obituaries and infant death records.
When is the last time you reminded your commercial customers about information security, high tech and low?
