The entire term "identity theft" is designed to offload blame from the companies themselves. Should be called "criminally negligent data loss" in many cases.

Yes. A negligent bank blames you because they didn't bother verifying a criminal's claim to be you.

Someone on another HN thread suggested the term "bank slander".
