Tip of the Week-Identity Theft


Listen Later

In today's digital world, keeping your identity safe is super important. Here are three top ways to do it:

1. Keep Your Info Secure:
  • Strong Passwords: Make unique and strong passwords for your accounts. Think letters, numbers, and symbols. Consider using a password manager to handle the heavy lifting.
  • Two-Factor Authentication: Add an extra layer of security with 2FA. It asks for a second form of verification, like a code sent to your phone.
  • Guard Your Docs: Keep sensitive stuff like passports and financial papers safe. Shred or trash any old docs with personal info.


2. Keep an Eye on Your Money:
  • Check Your Statements: Look through your bank and card statements often for any fishy transactions.
  • Credit Report Check: Grab your free credit reports yearly to spot any red flags. Think about credit monitoring for extra security.
  • Freeze Your Credit: Lock down your credit report to make it tougher for ID thieves to open new accounts.

3. Protect Your Online Presence:
  • Watch What You Share: Be careful about sharing personal info online, especially on social media.
  • Dodge Phishing: Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files.
  • Secure Wi-Fi and Updates: Use secure Wi-Fi and always update your software to fix any security holes.
Also, consider identity theft protection services for added security. If you suspect ID theft, report it ASAP to the right peeps to limit the damage. Stay safe out there!
