Internet Identity Theft
Identity theft has been a problem for decades, but as the Internet becomes more and more commonplace, Internet identity theft has become a problem of pandemic proportions.
According to the FTC, 1 in 8 Americans in the last 5 years has been affected by Internet identity theft. Internet identity theft is different from common identity theft in a few ways. Common identity theft takes place after something is physically stolen from you like a wallet containing credit cards and a driver’s license or an un-shredded credit card statement from your garbage bin. The thief would take these stolen articles and use them to make a fraudulent purchase or something of that nature. Internet identity theft can be much worse.
Internet identity theft can be much more devastating than conventional identity theft because most victims of Internet identity theft are completely unaware that anything has been stolen from them until it is much too late.
How Internet Identity Theft works:
You may not know it, but your computer collects all kinds of information about you and stores it in files hidden deep on your hard drive. Files like cache, browser history and other temporary Internet files can be used to reconstruct you online habits. These files store information like logins and passwords, names addresses, and even credit card numbers.
A thief can get at this information in one of two ways. Either he can grab it when it is being sent over an unsecured transmission, or he can install malicious software on your computer (like spyware) that will collect everything he needs and automatically send it back to him. The best way to protect yourself from Internet identity theft is to get an Internet security solution that is up to the challenge.
