5 Things Identity Thieves Want You To Do

Keeping your identity safe online and elsewhere is paramount in today’s highly digitized world. If you allow hackers id-theft_005to access information about you, it could result in a wiped-out bank account or a hacked email address, which will lead to major frustrations.

Chairman and Co-Founder of Credit.com and IDT911 Adam Levin says escaping identity thieves is nearly impossible, but you can make their job tougher.

“With identity theft and hacking running neck and neck as the third certainty in life, here are some behaviors to be avoided at all costs, because failure to follow best practices here will definitely come at a cost.”

So what are some mistakes that might lead to your identity being hacked? Here are five examples of the worst things you can do.

1. Ignore Your Bank Account & Your Credit Scores

Keeping your credit scores under close watch has been discussed here before. Checking your online bank statement is the fastest way to determine if someone has stolen your bank credentials and begun to make purchases. You should review your bank account regularly, especially after buying something online or from a business that you know was recently hacked. Check your credit scores as well to ensure someone else isn’t opening credit lines in your name. It’s also a good idea to check your credit reports.

2. Use One Password

Your passwords are often the only thing keeping you from being hacked, so make them complicated, and use different ones for every site you access, suggests the California Office of the Attorney General.

If someone discovers that an easily hacked site contains the password to your Amazon account, they could begin making purchases before you realize it — especially if you ignore your bank account.

3. Don’t Bother to Check Website Credentials

Phishing is everywhere. If you don’t look to see if a website is the authentic site for Amazon or some other online shopping center, then you could easily fall prey to a phishing scheme that will steal your password.

Be careful of emails as well, as these can be used to phish for information.

4. Give Out Your Social Security Number

Your Social Security number is the most valuable piece of data you possess.

Hackers can set up all kinds of accounts in your name if they have your Social Security number and your address. Don’t give them that chance. Keep your Social Security number as secure as possible.

5. Tell Everyone on Facebook Where You Are Going

Remember that Facebook is readily available to anyone with a computer, and if someone wants to break into your house, they can find out the best time for that by looking at your social updates.

So don’t say whether you’re on vacation, and don’t make your daily schedule of when you’re out of the house available online.

What Parents Can Do To Protect Their Child’s Identity

What are the odds that someone will steal a child’s identity? Why would a thief do that, and what exactly can parentsIDTheftChild do to keep it from happening?
A  2011 joint industry-academic examination of 40,000 children caught up in a data breach found that someone else appeared to be using 10.2 percent of their Social Security numbers. Most of those instances happened before the breach in question.

Children are 51 times more likely to have their identity stolen than adults! So identity theft for children does happen, and here’s why: Children’s credit reports are clean. That’s attractive to people who want to begin their financial lives anew for any number of reasons. Plus, minors don’t check their credit reports or review monthly bills the way grown-ups do, which means thieves may not get caught for years or even decades. Thieves sometimes use children’s Social Security numbers and other data to file fake tax returns and get illegitimate refunds, gain access to health care and work legally even if they are not citizens.

So what are the ways to keep private data private that are within our control? Don’t carry around Social Security cards. Keep them under lock and key at home. Keep your child’s date of birth off social media. Talk to your offspring about where to click and not to click on websites and in incoming email. Question school officials and doctors who want children’s Social Security numbers for forms, as it may not truly be necessary.

“Social Security numbers are like money in the bank, and thieves don’t need to use them at any specific moment in history,” he said. “You’re going to have to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life.”
