Protecting Yourself From Identity Theft
August 25th, 2009
For years now we’ve warned people about the need fro privacy and how lack of privacy can lead to identity theft. Many people think it can’t happen to them. This You Tube video shows otherwise. One expert hacker stole 130,000,000 credit card numbers. Was one of them yours?
One of the issues raised in the video is the use of debit cards. Again, for years we’ve been telling people not to use debit cards. They do not offer the same protections that credit cards do.
However, the main item to take away from this, is that protecting your identity, and your privacy, is up to you. You need to be proactive. Think through the issues and put safeguards in place so that you do not wind up as a victim.
