This had been the first time I had heard about it and I was sick for them and every other person whose identity was stolen (which was around 2 million people).  I immediately jumped on the local news website to read about this disaster, you can read about it here.  I guess this post kind of goes hand in hand with my post yesterday about your credit scores.

If you have secured a loan over the last year or so through Countrywide, I would definitely hop on the internet today and check your credit score.  It is much easier to clean up your credit in the beginning phases of identity theft than a few years down the road.
