To protect consumers, Congress passed the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act (ITADA). Later, ITADA was amended by the Identity Theft Penalty Enhancement Act (ITPEA), which outlaws the unauthorized transfer, possession, or use of a means of identifying another person to violate federal law. The amendment adds a new crime, called aggravated identity theft, to the original statute.
