Mari Frank Interviews Tom Zeller, Technology Journalist, New York Times

Tom Zeller Jr. writes about technology and society for The New York Times -- a beat he has covered since Aug. 2004. His most recent stories have looked at the crime from the streets of Phoenix, where identity theft complaints are highest nationally, and from a prison in upstate New York, where a young identity thief is serving time. They are part of a larger series of stories under the rubric "Stolen Lives," which focuses on the problem of identity theft.
