Abstract
Overview
Right on the heels of the recently released 2008 Identity Fraud Survey Report,
the 2008 Javelin Identity Fraud Forecast predicts how identity fraud trends
will change over the next five years, projecting overall measures of impact,
fraud types, and targeted channels of misuse through 2013. Leveraging
longitudinal consumer data, based on a combined total of over 19,000
respondents surveyed over the past four years, the forecast builds upon the
nation' s most comprehensive, nationally representative study of identity fraud.
Primary Questions
- How many consumers will become victims of identity fraud through 2013, and
how will incidence rates change over the next five years?
- How will fraud average amounts, consumer costs, and resolution hours vary
from 2008 to 2013?
- Which channels will be increasingly targeted by fraudsters, and how must
financial institutions plan defenses accordingly?
- What future trends can be expected for existing card fraud, specifically
credit and debit?
