The most effective way to avoid identity theft is to minimize the personal information you share with others. This applies especially to the Internet. Be cautious with the information that you share online. This includes the personal information you expose in your social media profiles.

  1. Never share your personal information unless it’s absolutely necessary.
  2. Keep your tax returns, bank statements, and other sensitive documents safe
  3. Destroy paper documents properly. 
  4. When sharing personal information online, check if the website has a valid SSL certificate
  5. Use safe surfing practices. For more information, look at our safe surfing course.

The most basic strategy to guard yourself from identity theft is to use the 3 Ds. Deter, Detect, and defend. To deter identity theft, be careful with your personal information. 

To detect, be vigilant with your bills and keep an eye on your credit reports. To defend yourself, activate fraud alerts and go to law enforcement as soon as you see signs of a compromise.

If you have spotted signs of identity theft, go to law enforcement immediately. File a report. The police report is vital in re-establishing your credit. It’s the most critical step. Without a police report, many companies and organizations will not be able to help you.

Invest in basic physical and electronic security devices such as lockable file cabinets, antivirus software and computer firewalls for your computers, mobile phones and tablets. Never dispose of sensitive documents without shredding them properly.
