StolenID provides a useful public service: You can find out if your personal information (like a Social Security number or credit card number) has been compromised. A negative result doesn’t mean you’re safe, of course, but a positive result means you better get some wheels in motion.

How long, though, before someone posts a copy of the site somewhere as an unscrupulous way of capturing data? Sadly, it’s probably somewhere out there already.

UPDATE: Maybe that’s why the site isn’t available anymore.
