Industry Veteran Launches American Institute for Identity Safety to Reform Victim Restoration
Eric Haller, a former senior executive at Experian and TransUnion, has founded the American Institute for Identity Safety (AIIS). The nonprofit organization aims to address the fragmented process victims face when attempting to recover from identity theft. Driven by personal experience as a victim, Haller intends to advocate for state and federal reforms that create a coordinated national hub for identity verification and claim resolution. The institute's mission focuses on improving restoration paths for the approximately 18 million Americans affected by fraud annually. AIIS will also address emerging threats such as AI-enabled deception, including deepfakes, while seeking to develop stronger prevention methods. By bridging the gap between consumer recovery needs and institutional requirements, the organization seeks to provide a more efficient system for both victims and financial institutions.
