Identity theft is a serious crime that occurs when someone uses your name, social security number, credit card number or other identifying information without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes.

Every year millions of consumers fall victim to identity (ID) theft crimes and businesses expose millions more due to data breaches of confidential consumer and employee information. As a result, ID theft is costing consumers and businesses billions of dollars each year and is taking a severe emotional toll as well.

While you cannot completely prevent ID theft from occurring, there are ways to protect yourself. Taking proactive steps now can reduce the debilitating impacts of the crime and help you restore your good name more quickly.

Education is the key. Safeguard yourself against this crime today.
