Christopher Hoofnagle
University of California, Berkeley
Chris Jay Hoofnagle is Director of the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology's information privacy programs and senior fellow to the Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic. He is an expert in information privacy law. Hoofnagle's recent work focuses on promoting competition among financial institutions to prevent identity theft. In his paper, "Identity Theft: Making the Unknown Knowns Known," he discusses the problem of "synthetic identity theft," a form of crime where an impostor fabricates personal information and yet still can obtain credit accounts. Hoofnagle argues that the rise of this form of fraud demonstrates a fundamental failure in banks' anti-fraud gatekeeper function, and proposes market reforms for reducing identity theft.
