Data breaches yield few ID thefts

I met people that have had I.D.s stolen or had assumed another persons I.D. I found most people get there identities from things like mail, SSN from insurance verification left in a car,  having access to the persons computer isn't really what most are after.   All they want is enough info to fill out a credit card application.  Every person I met who has a stolen ID was almost computer illiterate.  Most were fascinated with computers but most, i feel, don't have the motivation nor the capacity to learn computers.  Everyone I met who could learn computers in and out put it to good use and got a job.  If they want it bad enough they will eventually get your info no matter.  I went to school with a guy who was swiping peoples credit cards at his job but the process was very simply and he along with a few others was caught.
