(Newswire.net — November 8, 2014) Pittsburg, KS — Thieves are preying on innocent people using their identity to commit crimes and these innocent people are left to suffer the crime.
Why are the numbers increasing? Believe it or not persons are not as careful as they should be with their personal information. Accounts like Facebook, twitter and media site request personal information like name, date of birth, address and so on. Hackers are using mediums like phishing sites and other software to obtain your personal information from social media account to steal money and commit fraud. Not only are they attacking social media accounts but they are also sending fake emails that appears to be coming from your bank or other official companies requesting passwords and other personal information.
Some may even come in the form of bank alerts. One will get an alert in their mail, pretending to be a representative from your bank advising you that your account had some suspicious activated and that a password is required to verify that he or she is the owner of the card.
Whatever the form might be make sure to take the necessary procedures to prevent the likelihood of identity theft from coming your way. Here are some tips to consider. Avoid using and distributing personal information online. This is one common way that private information gets into the hands of hackers.
If using a public computer never save your password. Clicking the save password button save the credentials entered in when there was an attempt to sign in. This means any random stranger that happens to use the same computer could possibly have access to your account details.
Never send money or issue your personal information to someone not trustworthy. Also if you receive a request to send a large or even a small sum of money to a family member, confirm the validity of the request before sending the money.
