man arrested for allegedly stealing 500 identities -- by dumpster diving

Low Tech Hacks All Too Common

It was just May when we blogged about thousands of medical records being dumped in plain sight by someone, apparently, employed at the Hutcheson Medical Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was not only a clear HIPAA violation, but also placed people at risk to medical identity theft.
From channel CBS13, Sacramento:
The criminal complaint filed against 30-year-old suspect Jonah Nelson claims that he made more than 1,000 fake ID cards that he used to rip off people, stores and banks. Nelson also allegedly admitted to stealing the identities of more than 500 people all across Northern California, ranging from the Bay Area to the Central Valley.
