"My money is never at risk, only their money," Mr. Abagnale says. But he adds that he pays the bill in full each month to avoid getting into debt.

I recently read a book about a law firm associate that becomes victim of identity fraud and who is framed for corporate fraud and murder. In "Wearing the Spider" by Susan Schaab, you can directly see the correlation between computerized technology and fraud. I think this article is very helpful to those who wish to protect themselves from technological predators.
