To help prevent identity theft, Maricopa County, Arizona has hired a company to pore through 90 million images of divorce decrees, tax liens, child-support judgments, deeds of trust, foreclosure filings, and dozens of other types of public documents and black out Social Security numbers.
Arizona leads the nation in identity theft and the Phoenix metro area (Maricopa County) leads Arizona.
Maricopa County officials are attempting to remove documents from the internet and removing Social Security number from images remaining on the net.
