The State of California defines identity theft as “willfully obtain(ing) personal identifying information… and us(ing) that information for any unlawful purpose, including to obtain, or attempt to obtain, credit, goods, services, real property, or medical information without the consent of that person.” (Penal Code 530.5)
In the Internet age we are awash in information. Personal information can have unintended uses.
